La polysérite tuberculeuse, une étiologie méconnue de thrombose portale : à propos d’un cas au Burkina Faso

Le résumé fourni par la source

Introduction: Due to its rarity and severity, tuberculous polyseritis is a diagnostic challenge that can lead to serious complications. Portal vein thrombosis is an uncommon complication that is often overlooked. This case report illustrates this association in an immunocompetent patient. Observation: DNA was detected in pleural and peritoneal samples by GeneXpert. A diagnosis of tuberculous polyseritis complicated by portal vein thrombosis was made. The patient received four-drug antituberculosis therapy, as well as pleural and pericardial drainage and acetylsalicylic acid to treat his portal vein thrombosis. The outcome was favorable, with clinical resolution occurring in two months and full recovery occurring in six months. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis as a possible cause of venous thrombosis, even in immunocompetent individuals. Early diagnosis and appropriate management improve the prognosis.
