Intestinal tuberculosis in AIDS

Gastrointest Radiol. 1992 Spring;17(2):115-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01888523.

Abstract

The radiological appearance of intestinal tuberculosis (IT) in six patients with AIDS is presented. Involvement of the ileocecal segment (five cases), cecum (four cases), and duodenum (one case) was seen on computed tomographic (CT) or barium studies. There were no significant differences in radiological manifestations of IT among patients with or without AIDS, but all six patients had an advanced stage of their disease at the time of diagnosis.
