Opis

Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in developing countries, and has taken on a multifocal dimension with the emergence of extra-pulmonary forms, including peritoneal tuberculosis. This particular manifestation of tuberculosis, affecting the peritoneal membrane enveloping the abdominal organs, represents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Despite the progress made in the fight against pulmonary tuberculosis, peritoneal tuberculosis often remains little known and poorly understood, leading to delays in diagnosis and management, and consequently to high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this book is to increase our knowledge of peritoneal tuberculosis and propose recommendations for improving the management of the disease.
