[Colorectal tuberculosis].
Intestinal tuberculosis has been a clinical rarity in the western world since the tuberculostatic agents were discovered. The most common location of these lesions is usually the ileocecal region, lesions of the transverse colon being much less frequent and perforation of this viscus being exceptional. The etiological diagnosis is usually difficult because there are no specific radiological signs and false negatives are often found in biopsy material obtained by colonoscopy since the process is mainly submucous. This disease is often diagnosed during operation so treatment is usually resection. Should a preoperative diagnosis be made, the picture generally responds to tuberculostatics.
