Abstract
Abdominal tuberculosis is the commonest extra-pulmonary clinical condition. It is a chronic condition with vague symptoms and unclear signs. Acute abdomen in abdominal tuberculosis is rare and is usually secondary to other intra-abdominal pathology such as acute intestinal obstruction due to small bowel adhesions, or at ileo-caecal junction. Sometimes there may be small perforation due to adhesions.
Acute appendicitis can occur at any age or gender both in tuberculous or non- tuberculous abdomen. Acute appendicitis secondary to tuberculosis is quite rare. Clinical picture of peritonitis is seen whenever there is perforated appendix.
