Tuberculosis of the Gastrointestinal system

The book provides clear guidance to the cliniciansto diagnosis and manage the varied forms of abdominal tuberculosis. The chapters also touch on areas of controversy and confusion. Chapters are focused on each of the sites (intestinal, peritoneal, gastroduodenal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic), modalities for evaluation (histology, microbiology, radiology, endoscopic ultrasound, nuclear medicine), differential diagnosis, and follow-up including response to treatment. Separate chapters have also been devoted to pediatric abdominal TB, therapy-related hepatitis, and considerations in immunocompromised states such as HIV.
Therefore, this book will help practice clinicians and serve as a one-stop resource for graduate students in internal medicine and fellows training in gastroenterology.
