Core Tip	Tuberculosis has become a resurgent global problem with increasing numbers of immunocompromised patients, largely related to the global acquired immunodeficiency syndrome pandemic. The spread of the disease is further aided by poverty, overcrowding, and drug resistance. Abdominal tuberculosis rates are rising, consistent with the overall trend. Nonspecific features of the abdominal tuberculosis result in difficulty in establishing a diagnosis. After a diagnosis has been established, prompt initiation of treatment helps prevent morbidity and mortality as it is a treatable disease. This article should alert the clinician to consider abdominal tuberculosis in the correct clinical setting to ensure timely diagnosis and enable appropriate treatment.
