title: Intestinal tuberculosis in a celiac disease patient.
abstract: Both intestinal tuberculosis and celiac disease can cause malnutrition and failure to thrive. High index of suspicion is required to diagnose intestinal tuberculosis in a known case of celiac disease as both conditions present with similar complaints. We report a case of celiac disease with intestinal tuberculosis and perforation peritonitis.
