About the website
The website hopes to provide necessary information to the patients and professionals interested in knowing more about abdominal tuberculosis. The need was felt as many patients were directly contacting the author on social media for advise regarding the disease.Since such interactions have their downsides, the website where requisite information, updates and advise are available was planned. The website will grow and the plans include FAQs in major Indian languages for the patients and incisive interviews from leaders in the field of abdominal tuberculosis. The website will also have the twitter feed of our account @abdominalTB and will shortly have links to important websites on tuberculosis and updates on recent research. If you have an ide or want to write for us please cotact us using the contact us link
