Abstract
- The most common site of infection is the lung.[1] New Zealand is classified as a low TB incidence country with ~300 new cases diagnosed per year.[2] Intra-abdominal TB is notorious for non-specific presentation without the classic B-symptoms of fevers, night sweats and weight loss. We present a 59 years-old female patient with a 5 days history of generalized abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, anorexia and fevers. Gastroduodenal TB is uncommon, accounting for ~1-6% of all abdominal TB.[[3]] Common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, distension, nausea and vomiting and diarrhoea.
