Ileocaecal tuberculosis.
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery 1975 November
A retrospective study of 92 cases of ileocaecal tuberculosis, carried out at the Institute Hospital, New Delhi, is reported. The maximum incidence of the disease appeared to be between the ages of 20 and 40 years. There were 57 females and 35 males in the series. The majority of patients had symptoms for more than a year before they presented for treatment. Varying grades of intestianl obstruction constituted the usual clinical presentation, 44% of patients having subacute and 16% acute intestinal obstruction. Perianal fistula and abscesses were not seen. Most patients had no evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Barium X-ray studies were very helpful in the diagnosis. Bowel resection or short-circuiting gave very satisfactory results.
