Here, we report a case of isolated colonic tuberculosis where the initial diagnostic workup was suggestive of Crohn's disease. [gastrointestinalatlas.com]

Results Of the total study subjects, 266 patients were chosen for diagnostic laparoscopy based on the fact that their findings and symptomatology were so vague that a conclusion could not be drawn from the clinical examination and the usual laboratory workup [intechopen.com]

Endoscopy The most common site of involvement for both ITB and CD diseases is the ileocolonic region, and hence ileocolonoscopy is crucial for the diagnostic workup of both diseases. [ijri.org]

Though intussusception carries a very good prognosis, decisive prognostic factor is the nature of pathology leading to process. [10] To conclude, adult ileocolic intussusception due to tuberculosis should be kept in mind in patients presenting with chronic [atmph.org]

Certain observations as to the etiology are noted and since the process was reversed by bowel resection, it is assumed that the intestinal tuberculosis was responsible for the so-called target cell anemia. [link.springer.com]

Although 90% of cases of pediatric intussusceptions are idiopathic, a demonstrable etiology is found in 70-90% of adult cases. [1] Adult patients with ileococlic intussusceptions have underlying neoplasm either benign or malignant as an etiological factor [atmph.org]
