Granulomatous peritonitis is a rare postoperative complication caused by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to foreign substances. It can be challenging to diagnose owing to its vague presentations, and its possibility is often overlooked. Tubercular peritonitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis are the 2 crucial differential diagnoses that need to be taken into account. However, making a clinical differentiation between these 2 entities is challenging and necessitates a careful histopathological and microbiological analysis. In this report, we present the case of a 28-year-old female who developed granulomatous peritonitis following a right ovarian cystectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. We must be aware of this rare entity, which, if left untreated, could have serious consequences, and consider its possibility in cases where the patient complains of abdominal pain after any abdominal procedure. We hope to provide insights into the importance of histopathological examination in aiding a confirmatory diagnosis of this entity.

Bacterial liver parenchymal infections in dogs are rarely documented, and their imaging characteristics are scarce in the veterinary literature, especially in Computed Tomography (CT). This retrospective multicentric study aimed to describe the CT characteristics of parenchymal bacterial liver infection and abscessation in dogs and compare them with the human literature. Twenty dogs met the inclusion criteria.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been used for various applications; however, studies investigating the immunohistochemical characteristics of the inflammatory and scarring component in BC implanted in the peritoneum in vivo have not yet been fully described. This study aimed to evaluate the systemic and organic safety of BC through oxidative stress, blood, and serum biochemical markers, as well as the late inflammatory response in rats, using histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Forty-three rats (26 males; 17 females) received BC in the peritoneal cavity (implanted group-IG), while twenty-seven rats (12 males; 15 females) served as the control (sham group-SG).

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is an important public health problem due to its diverse clinical presentations, diagnostic complexities, and significant impact on patient outcomes and public health. Our study aimed to understand the sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics as well as diagnostic and treatment modalities of adult patients with EPTB. This is a multicentric retrospective study that covers patients with EPTB cases followed up from January 2015 to December 2022 among tuberculosis (TB) dispensaries and Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology clinics of 15 hospitals located in various regions of Turkey.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) peritonitis can cause small bowel obstruction, but it's hard to diagnose due to vague symptoms; a case study showed a 30-year-old woman after a trip to Vietnam with gastrointestinal issues.
- CT scans detected a mass in her intestine, leading to positive TB tests and biopsy results indicating a mycobacterial infection.
- Despite starting treatment, she faced complications, requiring surgery for a bowel obstruction, highlighting the need for TB tests in patients with worsening gut symptoms.
