Abstract EN
We describe a rare case of fatal disseminated tuberculous peritonitis in a young woman with rapid progressive clinical course following spontaneous abortion of 20-week gestation.
Clinical and laboratory findings were initially unremarkable.
She underwent diagnostic laparoscopy which revealed numerous tiny implants on the peritoneum and viscera.
Histopathology showed chronic caseating granulomas, and the tissue culture grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
At fifth day of the antituberculous treatment multiorgan failure occurred in terms of pulmonary, hepatic, and renal insufficiency.
She developed refractory metabolic acidosis with coagulopathy and pancytopenia, and she died of acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock on her twelfth day of hospitalization.
