How long does it take to treat tuberculous peritonitis?

The treatment period needs to be analysed in the context of the disease, but is usually at least 18 months. If treatment is not timely or appropriate and the disease is not controlled in a timely manner, it can be exacerbated by intestinal obstruction, intestinal fistulas, intestinal adhesions, intestinal perforation and septic abdominitis. Therefore, anti-tuberculosis drug treatment should be based on the principles of early, regular, full, appropriate and combined treatment, and the course of treatment is usually not short. The treatment should be accompanied by an increase in nutrition and resistance, as well as regular review of liver function and abdominal ultrasound during treatment.
