Treatment with antitubercular drugs led to the improvement of left upper limb deep vein thrombosis in a 30-year-old male with colonic tuberculosis.
Why the study?
Thrombogenic potential is a rare entity among the various complications reported to be caused by tuberculosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of deep vein thrombosis occurring as a complication of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which resolved with antitubercular therapy.
Among the various complications reported to be caused by tuberculosis (TB), thrombogenic potential is a rare entity. Here, we report a case of colonic tuberculosis in a 30-year-old male who developed left upper limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ruling out other possible causes of DVT and improvement of the affected limb with antitubercular drugs led to conclusion that DVT was most probably due to TB.
