Tuberculosis may present with variable symptoms and signs, sometimes presentations are unusual.

Colonic biopsy was suggestive of tuberculosis and Gene-Xpart of sputum showed of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. We are reporting a case presented with hematochezia and poloyarthritis, an unusual presentation who was subsequently diagnosed as a case of multi drug resistant intestinal tuberculosis.Downloads
