Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extrapulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium . It mainly found in countries with high burden of TB, so travelling from an endemic area should raise suspicion. Although it well-recognised disease, remains challenge due to its difficult clinical and microbiological diagnosis. This can lead delay, both diagnosis treatment serious prognostic implications. We describe the case woman her mid-50s who presented fever, abdominal pain, vomiting,...
