Jiang Zhiwei and Chen Ruhuan on June 21, 2024, at 10:48 AM, discussed how infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the gastrointestinal tract is rare but can lead to serious conditions. Symptoms of intestinal tuberculosis include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and even intestinal obstruction in severe cases. The diagnosis might be challenging, but with proper identification and treatment including anti-tuberculosis drugs, recovery is usually successful. Individuals with compromised immune systems are at a higher risk, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly if experiencing unexplained abdominal pain, especially with family history of tuberculosis exposure.
