title: [A case of multiple intestinal perforations due to TBC in a female patient with HIV-1 infection].
abstract: The authors report a case of HIV-1 infection, primary miliary tuberculosis of the lung and secondary intestinal tuberculosis complicated with multiple intestinal perforations. The surgical emergency therapy, supported by specific antitubercular drugs, antibiotics, and total parenteral nutrition, consisted in suturing seven perforative sites of the small and large intestine. The Authors stress the possibility that in the future tubercular complications up till now considered atypical may become more and more frequent because of the HIV-1 infection association.
