Does tb peritonitis cause ascites and splenomegaly as a complication

Yes, TB peritonitis can cause ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity) and splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen) as complications. These symptoms are typically a result of inflammation and infection in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) caused by tuberculosis. The presence of ascites and splenomegaly in a patient with TB peritonitis may indicate more severe disease and can impact treatment and management strategies. It is important for patients with these complications to receive prompt and appropriate medical care.
