Peritoneal tuberculosis is comparable to ''kaphodara''. Chronic perpetuation of the illness with the co-morbidity of the respiratory illness justifies the same. Infection of peritoneum with Mycobacterium tuberculosis also causes peritonitis. Fever, anorexia, weakness, malaise, and weight loss are the initial constitutional manifestations. Abdominal distention then develops either because of partial intestinal obstruction or ascites. Doughy abdomen is regarded as most classic sign of tubercular peritonitis. In most of the cases it is possible to detect the primary focus of infection in the lungs. Abdominal tenderness associates the abdominal pain. Analysis of ascitic fluid confirms exudative ascites.<ref>Agnivesha.
