[Peritoneal tuberculosis in Africa (author's transl)].
Peritonel tuberculosis is quite frequent overseas and specially in Africa; as an example, it is about 0,5 p. 100 of the admittances and 13 p. 100 of the total number of tuberculous cases recorded in Dakar and Djibouti, over a period of four years. First symptoms are not caracteristic but rapidly one may observe either ascitic or non-ascitic forms, with eventually pseudo-tumoral or adhesive aspect. Diagnostic criteria are reviewed as well as the therapeutic rules and results.
