D A Ndububa1, B J Olasode, L O Olatunde.   

Abstract

We describe a patient who presented with chronic diarrhoea and features of malabsorption, suspected clinically to be due to abdominal tuberculosis and who developed fatal haematochezia a few days into a therapeutic trial of antituberculous chemotherapy. At autopsy, multiple tuberculosis ulcers were found in the jejunum, ileum and descending colon.
