ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is a common infection worldwide. In developed countries, the incidence of this disease was low until a few years ago. However, due to the rise in immigration and HIV infection, the frequency of tuberculosis has recently shown a marked increase. Although the most frequent location of tuberculosis infection continues to be respiratory, infection in other sites, such as musculoskeletal, genitourinary, neurological and abdominal areas, has recently become more common. Abdominal infection, the most frequently described extrapulmonary localization, commonly affects the spleen, liver, ileocecal region, peritoneum, and regional lymph nodes. Tuberculosis of the pancreas is considered a rare entity.

ABSTRACT

La tuberculosis es una entidad frecuente en todo el mundo. En los países desarrollados se describía hasta hace unos años un descenso en su incidencia, pero debido al aumento de flujos migratorios y a la aparición del sida, se ha detectado un notable aumento en su frecuencia en los últimos tiempos. A pesar de que la localización clásica con afectación pulmonar continúa siendo la forma de presentación más comunicada, se ha descrito un incremento en el diagnóstico en otras localizaciones. La afectación de otros órganos y aparatos, como el sistema muscular esquelético, el genitourinario, el neurológico o el abdominal, ha dejado de ser infrecuente. La abdominal es una localización extrapulmonar cada vez más frecuente, zona en la que se ha descrito una afectación de diversas estructuras: cadenas linfáticas mesentéricas, intestino delgado, peritoneo, hígado y bazo. La afectación pancreática es una entidad muy infrecuente
