Abstract

Tuberculosis, known as one of the greatest challenges in public health, continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Its diagnosis and management have become a challenge for the treating clinician when it presents extrapulmonary dissemination. Intestinal tuberculosis, one of the rarest subtypes, is found in only 2% of tuberculosis cases worldwide. Below is exposed the case of a man in his early forties who began experiencing long-standing constitutional symptoms. He sought a second medical opinion from the Internal Medicine service and further investigation was carried out. A brief literature review is also included.
