Abstract
Intestinal tuberculosis is an uncommon presentation of tuberculosis (TB) and has clinicopathological similarities with Crohnʹs disease. In regions where TB is endemic clinicians must aware of this condition and fully evaluate their patients when Crohnʹs disease is diagnosed. We recommend all pathologic specimens be evaluate effectively for TB.Smear,culture and PCR for Mycobacterium.tuberculosis from samples aside the pathological reviews help for better diagnosis. Here we present a case of intestinal tuberculosis which initially diagnosed as Crohnʹs disease but after starting immunosuppressive agents he presented with disseminated tuberculosis.
