Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (GTB) poses diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and lack of definitive tests. This editorial synthesizes epidemiological data, clinical challenges, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approaches for GTB management. Despite advancements, delays in diagnosis lead to complications, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists, surgeons, and infectious disease specialists. Improved understanding and collaboration are essential for timely diagnosis and optimal treatment outcomes in primary GTB cases.
