Zusammenfassung:
Die Krankengeschichten zweier aus Asien stammender Immigrantinnen mit Darmtuberkulose verdeutlicht die Schwierigkeiten der Diagnosefindung. Insbesondere der Morbus Crohn lässt sich wegen der Ähnlichkeiten des klinischen Verlaufes sowie des makroskopischen und mikroskopischen Bildes kaum von der Darmtuberkulose abgrenzen. Allerdings kann die subtile Beobachtung morphologischer Veränderungen am Darm anamnestische Hinweise auf eine Intestinaltuberkulose erhärten. Die Diagnosesicherung erfolgt durch Erregernachweis. Da dieser Nachweis in Einzelfällen schwierig zu führen ist, kann eine probatorische Therapie bei dringendem Verdacht diskutiert werden.
Intestinal tuberculosis: Easier overlooked than diagnosed
The medical history of two Asian immigrants suffering from intestinal tuberculosis demonstrates the difficulties in finding the correct diagnosis. Intestinal tuberculosis resembles Crohn’s disease with regard to clinical symptoms, macroscopic and microscopic intestinal findings. Sonographic, radiologic, endoscopic, and histological examinations facilitate distinguishing both entities. Diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis is made by identification of the causative microorganism in tissue specimens. As this may be difficult and time-consuming, a therapeutic trial with anti-tuberculous agents may be warranted.
