Paradoxical response during antituberculosis treatment occurs frequently in non-HIV-infected patients as well as in HIV-infected patients, and intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess can develop as paradoxical response in tuberculous peritonitis patients rarely. The unique CT findings are not present and microbiologic or pathologic confirm is needed for diagnosis of intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess. Further study is needed to define steroid use or operation indication of intraperitoneal tuberculosis abscess. (Korean J Med 74:233-234, 2008) |
