The medical care for children with ocular tuberculosis until the end of the nineties was delivered in the Saint-Petersburg City Diagnostic Centre # 7, OLS. Under dispensary observation in the tuberculosis department, there were no less than 100 patients with hematogenous tuberculosis (in association with tuberculosis contamination or local forms of non-ocular localizations). Recently, there has been only a half time ophthalmologist in the dispensary to admit children and adolescents with ocular tuberculosis or suspected cases. Upon an initiative of phthisioophthalmology section of the Saint-Petersburg scientific medical ophthalmological society to the staff of the city dispensary ophthalmologist O.P. Il’kova was recommended and admitted, with a specialization to work as pediatric phthisioophthalmologist. During 2014, O.P. Il’kova attended to adult patients at the ophthalmology department of the dispensary, consulted adolescents in the “Drujba” tuberculosis sanatorium and analysed the treatment results of tuberculosis patients who became ill at their childhood. The phthisioophthalmology section of the Saint-Petersburg scientific medical ophthalmological society and the ophthalmology department of the Saint-Petersburg anti-tuberculosis dispensary solicit the chief executives of the dispensary to allocate ophthalmologist, nurse positions and to create necessary conditions to examine and treat children and adolescents with ocular tuberculosis or suspected cases.
