| pubmed-article:3061359 | pubmed:abstractText | The perforation into free peritoneum is a singular complication of the intestinal tuberculosis. Regarding a recent observation of this complication revealing small intestinal tuberculosis, we have tried to make the point on this exceptional form of small intestinal tuberculosis. By means of prolonged enteric nutrition and antitubercular treatment, the patient will be cured of this disease without any after-effects as we mentioned it in our observation. Very fearsome in the past (44 deaths out of 104 published cases), perforation into free peritoneum nowadays has a better prognosis. | lld:pubmed |
