Review Case Reports[Intestinal perforation in tuberculosis].
For 5 years the authors observed isolated abdominal tuberculosis in 6 patients. Five of them who were urgently operated upon had perforations of the tuberculous ulcers of the intestine. A specific character of the inflammation was confirmed by histological investigations. ⋯ One of them had six perforated tuberculous ulcers of the jejunum. All these patients died.
