Abstract
The pattern of tuberculosis has changed and in recent years: extrapulmonary tuberculosis has become more common, especially in immuno-compromised individuals. A case of primary intestinal tuberculosis in a patient with kidney transplant is reported. The patient presented with persistent fever and right-sided abdominal pain. Histopathology of colonic tissue showed granulomatous inflammation containing acid fast bacilli, and culture of the tissue grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Clinical improvement occurred after institution of appropriate anti-tubercular treatment.
