Coeliac disease Coeliac disease Coeliac disease or celiac disease is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the small intestine. Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal distention, malabsorption, loss of appetite and among children failure to grow normally. This often begins between six months and two years of age. Non-classic symptoms are more common, especially in people older than two years. There may be mild or absent gastrointestinal symptoms, a wide number of symptoms involving any part of the body or no obvious symptoms. Coeliac disease was first described in childhood; however, it may develop at any age.
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the liver or spleen, splenomegaly, splenic or lymph node calcification, inflammatory thickening of the terminal ileum and caecum, patulous I-C junction and lowattenuation lymphadenopathy may help suggest tuberculosis as the etiology of diffuse peritoneal disease. Like tuberculosis, Crohn‟s disease also can result in granulomatous peritonitis13. Smooth and regular peritoneal thickening is more in favor of granulomatous peritonitis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is tuberculosis (TB) within another location in the body than the lungs. This occurs in 15–20% of active cases, causing other kinds of TB. These are collectively denoted as "extrapulmonary tuberculosis". Extrapulmonary TB occurs more commonly in immunosuppressed
