Many Indian researchers accepted that during last decade there was considerable increase in the incidence of Crohn’s disease (CD) in India which poses great challenge in diagnosing it, due to high prevalence of tuberculosis2. In this perspective we report a case which made a stimulus to review the literature. The purpose of this manuscript is 1. To document the occurrence of an additional case of CD in India, 2. To report that CD can rarely present as post operative enterocutaneous fistula, 3. To discuss the criteria in diagnosing the CD in Tuberculosis (TB) endemic area.</p><p>Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.688-690</p>}, number={4}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science}, author={Mohammed Gouse, S Suban and Ganapathy, Hemalatha and Devi, Bhuvanamha and Rao, G Bheema and Parijatham, BO}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={688–690} }
