[The abdominal tuberculoses].
In a report on the extrapulmonary tuberculosis the abdominal forms are once more emphasized and analysed on the basis of a number of patients. There are no more any actual references to this picture of a disease in the modern general situation of tuberculosis, as by abolition of the bovine tuberculosis the prerequisites could be removed. There is no decisive symptomatology which leads to an abdominal tuberculosis. With the help of 89 clinically treated cases certain problems could be elaborated with regard to the diagnostics and therapy. The inclination to recidivation is not unconsiderable (8.9%), which is due to a disappointing bacteriological diagnostics and the false chemotherapeutic treatments resulting from this. With 34 cases in the GDR in 1976 this tuberculous disease is at present scarcely still of any significance. It must also in future be reckoned with sporadic new diseases which appear due to an intermittent lympho-haematogenic dissemination from tuberculous lung, pleura or lymph node processes and which may be treated with success by a modern multiple chemotherapy in a tuberculosis institution. The severe courses accompanied by complications which gave rise to surgical emergency measures might finally belong to the past.
