Abstract
- Although the diagnosis of primary tuberculous peritonitis in pregnancy is seems challenging because of protean manifestations and difficult surgical intervention, prompt diagnosis and treatment can minimize both maternal and fetal/neonatal mortality. We have experienced one case of this disease in 23-year-old primigravida in 24 weeks of gestation.
