Abstract
Patients with AIDS are particulary susceptible to tuberculosis infecti on with a high incidence of extrapulmonary disease and surgical compli cations. Authors describe a 38-year-old male infected with the human i mmunodeficiency virus who presented intestinal perforation due to myco bacterium tuberculosis. A resection of jejunum was performed with prim ary anastomosis. The postoperative course was further compromished by hepatic failure and the patient died 16 days after the initial surgery .
