EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Seven patients with proven ileo-caecal tuberculosis and six others in whom the presumptive evidence of intestinal tuberculosis was very strong were admitted to the United Birmingham Hospitals in the period 1951-62. The features of the condition are described, and the difficulties of diagnosis, both clinical and pathological, are discussed. Any lesion of the bowel showing follicular lesions with giant cells should be carefully searched for tubercle bacilli.
