A 66-year-old previously healthy woman presented to hospital with 1 month of malaise, abdominal swelling and early satiety. She had immigrated from the Philippines 40 years before and had previous exposure to tuberculosis (TB) and a positive interferon-γ release assay. Examination using abdominal computed tomography found ascites and omental nodularity.
诊断可肠术显示淋巴细胞 - 促腹水腹水低,血清contrum-ascites白蛋白梯度低,对恶性细胞阴性。染色为酸性杆菌阴性,培养结果对分枝杆菌阴性。我们进行了诊断性腹腔镜检查,表明患者的顶胸膜和内脏腹膜与腹膜结核一致(图1一个)。腹膜活检样品表现出非灾作用的肉芽瘤,对泛敏感性培养阳性结核分枝杆菌complex (图1 b) although negative for organisms. After treatment with appropriate antibiotics, the patient’s clinical condition improved. We reported the case to the public health office for contact tracing.

The incidence of active TB infection in Canada is 4.9/100 000.1Risk factors for infection include immunosuppression, contact with known or suspected cases, travel to or immigration from endemic countries, or living in communities with a high prevalence of TB.1Eighty percent of people with TB have pulmonary involvement; isolated peritoneal TB occurs in only 1% of cases.2,3诊断是具有挑战性的,因为腹腔液的酸性杆菌染色和分枝杆菌培养物的敏感性分别低至3%或更少和20%或更少。4–6Mycobacterial culture from peritoneal biopsy is the diagnostic gold standard. In conjunction with histology, laparoscopic examination has sensitivities and specificities greater than 90%.5腹膜结核病should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ascites with a low serum-ascites albumin gradient with lymphocytosis in patients with risk factors or known latent infection.
