Hello and welcome to HCM,
Intestinal Koch's is same as abdominal tuberculosis.
It is caused by a bacteria called tubercle bacilli.
The abdominal tuberculosis can cause associated ascites.
Ascitis is accumulation of exudate fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
The treatment for abdominal tuberculosis is long and multiple drugs are used.. It may be required for a year.
As the disease will resolve with treatment, ascitis will also resolve with it.
Thanks and take care.

Hello, for the query to H.C.M.C.
Abdominal tuberculosis , usually associated with ascites due to malnourishment ( poor hygiene & anemia).
Ascites ( collection {deposition} of fluid in abdomen) depends upon many reasons, why it is ?
Tapping is the only way till you find proper treatment.
If deficiency of protein, anemia, fatty liver, cirrohsis of liver corrected properly this will not re-occurs again.
Cause (s) must be treated , than you can hope for something good .
Beside this you have to take proper treatment of tuberculosis that too complete treatment.
Good luck. Dr. HET.
