title: [Perforated jejunal tuberculosis in a patient with HIV-infection].
abstract: Patients with AIDS are particularly susceptible to tuberculosis infection with a high incidence of extrapulmonary disease and surgical complications. Authors describe a 38-year-old male infected with the human immunodeficiency virus who presented intestinal perforation due to mycobacterium tuberculosis. A resection of jejunum was performed with primary anastomosis. The postoperative course was further compromised by hepatic failure and the patient died 16 days after the initial surgery.
