ABSTRACT
Chronic abdominal pains caused by peritoneal tuberculosis - two case reports. The diagnosis of a peritoneal tuberculosis could be a demanding task for even an experienced Physician, because of the unspecific symptoms. We report on two patients, who as a result of therapy refractory chronic abdominal pains, weight loss and ascites were admitted to our hospital. The excisional biopsy taken from the peritoneum and the omentum major during an exploratory laparotomy resulted in the histopathologic diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis being made. Both patients were given tuberculostatic therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyracinamide and streptomycin and both have since recovered. The symptoms, the difficulties encountered in making the diagnosis and the therapy of the peritoneal tuberculosis are discussed using these two case reports.
