J M Scriven et al. J R Coll Surg Edinb. 1996 Oct.

Perforation and obstruction of the small intestine are well recognized in cases of ulcero-constrictive gastro-intestinal tuberculosis and at the commencement of anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. We present a case of two metachronous perforations in a patient despite established anti-tuberculous treatment.
