Question

Does tb peritonitis cause splenomegaly and hepatimegaly

Answer 1

No, TB peritonitis does not typically cause splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) or hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). TB peritonitis is an infection of the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity, and does not directly affect the spleen or liver. However, if left untreated, the infection can spread to other organs and tissues, potentially causing complications such as liver or spleen involvement. It is important to seek prompt medical treatment for TB peritonitis to prevent these complications.
