Abstract

The authors reviewed the four tuberculous pe­ ritonitis cases admitted to the District Hospital of Santo Tirso medical ward, from 1994 to 1995. They studied the patients distribution by age and sex, their previous contacts with tuberculo­sis, the coexistent diseases, the most relevant cli­nical data, the complementary test, the treatment and global results.

They discussed the present relevance of extra­ pulmonary tuberculosis, the reasons for their high prevalence and the procedures to improve diagnosis.
