Chronic non-specific diseases with abdominal tuberculosis

Nonspecific somatic diseases of internal organs are diagnosed in 2/3 (69,7 %) cases of abdominal tuberculosis. Every second case (50,7 %) of abdominal tuberculosis is accompanied by nonspecific gastrointestinal disease, most commonly chronic gastritis/gastroduodenitis, stomach ulcer, every third case (35,2 %) - by other chronic therapeutic diseases: cardiovascular systems disease (CHD, hypertension), COPD, diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Diseases of the digestive system with a 95 % probability lengthens the diagnostic search. Alcohol abuse (OR 2,81±0,37) and immunodeficiency states are independent predictors of progression (modifiable predictors of adverse outcome of abdominal tuberculosis) due to the glucocorticoid therapy ongoing search for the diagnostic stages of and HIV co-infection (OR 8,05±0,66). Complications of nonspecific somatic diseases increase mortality in abdominal tuberculosis by 4,6 %.
