[Ileocecal tuberculosis. Apropos of 27 cases].

The authors report a retrospective study of 27 cases of "ileo-caecal tuberculosis" collected over a period of 10-years. Sixteen women and eleven men, between 14 and 55 years of age (with a group mean age of 28 years), were included. This is still a common disease in Morocco, despite attempts to achieve universal BCG vaccination.
