RESUMO
Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) tends to present with non-specific features and can be hard to diagnose. In the University Hospitals of Leicester, which serve a large immigrant population, 36 patients had this diagnosis between 1995 and 2001. We examined their records to identify features, including history, clinical presentation, investigations and diagnostic procedures, that might help with diagnosis of future cases.
