Abstract

This report is of a single case of ileocaecal tuberculosis presenting as subacute bowel obstruction, with clinical features suggesting an inflammatory cause. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made at operation although tuberculosis was suspected beforehand. Treatment consisted of triple therapy only and appeared to be successful in so far as loss of symptoms resulted.
