TY - JOUR A2 - Miliaras, Dimosthenis AU - Maharjan, Sushna PY - 2015 DA - 2015/11/16 TI - An Uncommon Case of Chronic Tubercular Appendicitis SP - 534838 VL - 2015 AB - Tuberculosis (TB) is a common disease that ranks as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide, after the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, primary TB of the appendix is rare and may or may not be associated with specific clinical features. Thus, diagnosis is made only after histopathological examination. It suggests that all surgically removed appendices should be subjected to histopathological examination. This reported case is an uncommon case of chronic tubercular appendicitis.
