| dc.description.abstract | Abstract In Southeast Asia, the higher prevalence of Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) challenges the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD) due to their overlapping symptoms. This case involves a 25-year-old male misdiagnosed with Intestinal tuberculosis presenting with abdominal pain, weight loss, and bowel ulceration. Recurrence after anti-tubercular therapy led to further investigation paving to right hemicolectomy and histopathological analysis confirming Crohn’s disease. This case highlights the complexity of the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease in tuberculosis-prevalent areas, stressing the clinical importance, advanced diagnostics tools, and multidisciplinary approach for effective intervention. | |
