[Clinical exercise: recalcitrant diarrhea in the main hospital of Dakar ].
It's the case of a Senegalese man who presents a chronic rebel diarrhea with alteration of the general condition and a malabsorption. The aetiologic management has been very difficult to achieve after we have eliminated the infectious and parasitological causes. The clinical and epidemiological context with the histopathological arguments allowed us to establish the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis.
