Abstract
Abstract Peritoneal tuberculosis (PT) is the most common form of abdominal tuberculosis. Diagnosis of PT can be difficult because of vague clinical symptoms, insidious onset, limitations of available diagnostic tests, and variable imaging findings. Early and timely diagnosis and treatment are important in preventing morbidity and mortality in PT. In this review, we summarize the current literature on presentation, diagnosis, and management of PT.
