65 years old woman was investigated for ascites.
Laboratory evaluation due to increase in transaminases revealed anti- HCV and HCV-RNA positivity. Serum-ascites albumin gradient was >1.1 g/dl. Although this finding was compatible with ascites due to portal hypertension, other findings of portal hypertension were absent. And also ascitic fluid cell count (900 mm³) and lymphocyte ratio (85%) were unusual for portal hypertensive ascites. Being frequent in the region, tuberculous peritonitis in the presence of chronic liver disease was suspected. Percutaneous peritoneal biopsy demonstrated caseifying granulomas.
This case represents atypical presentation of tuberculous peritonitis in the presence of chronic liver disease.Keywords: Tuberculous peritonitis,
