Abdominal tuberculosis is one of the common extra pulmonary tuberculosis with diverse clinical manifestations. It has high disease burden in endemic countries like India leading to significant morbidity and mortality when left untreated. It is of vital importance to treat to prevent significant disease related mortality. We report 4 patients of abdominal tuberculosis who presented with atypical presentations. The aim of our case series is to know the uncommon presentations of a common disease.

Diagnosis typically requires invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or laparotomy.

A 69-year-old Japanese man developed abdominal pain, purpura, proteinuria, and hematuria while receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A skin biopsy revealed IgA-positive leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a renal biopsy showed IgA-positive mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation. Based on these findings, we diagnosed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and initiated treatment.

Colonic tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extrapulmonary TB with nonspecific clinical presentations such as weight loss, abdominal pain and fever. It is often misdiagnosed, as the presentations mimic other more common diseases such as colon cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases, especially in those countries with low TB incidence. Although a combination of CT imaging, colonoscopy and histopathology forms the essential part of the diagnostic assessment, the high variability and low specificity of each investigation may delay or overlook the diagnosis.
