How is tuberculous peritonitis caused?

Tuberculosis peritonitis is considered to be caused by human tuberculosis mycobacterium infection, direct spread of tuberculosis focus, hematogenous spread of tuberculosis focus, etc., as follows:

1. human tuberculosis mycobacterium infection: human tuberculosis mycobacterium infection can cause tuberculosis peritonitis. Patients are often accompanied by pelvic tuberculosis, intestinal tuberculosis and other tuberculosis lesions.

2. direct spread of tuberculosis focus: intraperitoneal tuberculosis focus, such as mesenteric lymph node tuberculosis, tubal tuberculosis, etc., can spread directly, causing tuberculous peritonitis.

3. hematogenous spread of tuberculosis focus: abdominal tuberculosis, such as joint tuberculosis, miliary tuberculosis, testicular tuberculosis, etc., can be transmitted by hematogenous route, causing tuberculous peritonitis.
