Want very urgent information about Peritoneal tb"Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out for support and advice. Six months ago, I was diagnosed with peritoneal TB. Despite undergoing six months of treatment, I haven't seen significant improvement. Unfortunately, I've developed complications, including intraperitoneal locular sightings.

Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with peritoneal TB? I'm now in my seventh month of treatment and feeling exhausted. Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you."

Peritoneal tuberculosis is primarily treated with antibiotics, similar to the treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis:

Antibiotics

The most common first-line antibiotics include isoniazid, pyrazinamide, rifampin, streptomycin, and ethambutol. Patients typically take these medications for 6–9 months, but the duration can be longer.

Supportive care

Along with antibiotics, supportive care is important for managing symptoms and complications. This can include:

Adequate nutrition

Pain management

Rest

Moderate activity

Getting enough quality sleep

Surgery

Surgery may be necessary to manage complications such as:

Bowel perforation

Intestinal obstruction

Fistulae

Abscesses

Bleeding

Other considerations include:

A delay in starting medical therapy can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.

The role of corticosteroids is controversial, and there is a lack of empirical data.

Peritoneal fluid analysis by PCR may also be diagnostic, although sensitivity is low.

Histologic examination of peritoneal biopsy specimens can be positive.
