Two cases of specific tubercular processes in the ceco-appendicular zone and the urinary system in men aged 25 and 30 years are described. Both patients reported abdominal pain and persistent fever that did not respond to treatment. Surgery revealed ulcerated appendix, intraperitoneal serous exudate, ascitic liquid, peritoneal ulcerocaseous nodules, and fibrous adhesions. Histological sections revealed a tubercular puchet in the ceco-appendicular zone. Subsequent x-ray test in response to reports of frequent painful urination showed specific lesions in the papillae and renal ureteral ampullae, and urine cultures were positive for Koch's bacillus. Treatment with streptomycin, followed by isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and morinamid for 2 years, was effective.
