Resumen

Una mujer de 65 años ingresó en nuestro hospital por malestar general y distensión abdominal. En su adolescencia padeció pleuresía tuberculosa, que curó dejando como secuelas paquipleuritis residual. Tres años antes se le realizó nefrectomía izquierda, donde se detectaron granulomas no necrotizantes con baciloscopia negativa. En el estudio actual el líquido ascítico presentó pleocitosis mononuclear y la laparoscopia reveló nódulos blanquecinos diseminados por todo el peritoneo, observándose granulomas no necrotizantes con baciloscopia negativa en la biopsia peritoneal. En la orina se cultivó Mycobacterium tuberculosis. La evolución posterior tras tuberculostáticos ha sido hacia la curación, configurando en conjunto una historia clínica típica de tuberculosis latente tardía.

Palabras clave:
Tuberculosis generalizada o latente tardía
Peritonitis tuberculosa
Tuberculosis urinaria
Summary

A 65 year old woman was admitted to our hospital due to general malaise and abdominal distension. In her adolescence, she had suffered from tuberculosis pleurisy, that was cured with residual pachypleuritis sequels. Three years before, a left nephrectomy was performed and non-necrotizing granulomae with negative bacilloscopy were detected. In the present study, the ascitic fluid presented mononuclear pelocytosis and the laparoscopy revealed whitish nodule disseminated throughout the peritoneum, observing non-necrotizing granulomae with negative bacilloscopy in the peritoneal biopsy. In the urine, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was grown. The posterior evolution after tuberculostatics has evolved towards cure, there being, as a whole, a typical clinical history for late latent tuberculosis.

Key words:
Generalized or late latent tuberculosis
Peritonitis tuberculosa
Urinary tuberculosis
