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.
