Peritoneal Tuberculosis Mimicking Ruptured Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy: A case report

Abstract

Tuberculosis in pregnancy is a diagnostic challenge, especially in the absence of lung involvement. It mimics other diseases and clinical presentation and is usually non-specific, which may lead to diagnostic delay and development of complications. Extreme vigilance should be used when dealing with unexplained abdominal symptoms to ensure timely diagnosis. Diagnosis often gets delayed in absence of histopathological evidence.
