“…Intraocular pathogens detected in TB cases are almost always thought to enter the end organ through hematogenous seeding of systemic infection [16] this was also true of the case described here. Recent studies point to the retinal pigment epithelium as a potential reservoir for mycobacteria [3]. In most cases, the diagnosis of (intra)ocular TB is made in the presence of known systemic infection and matching clinical ophthalmologic findings [17].…”

“…Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass intraokular nachgewiesene Erreger bei Tbc fast immer durch hämatogene Aussaat einer systemischen Infektion in das Endorgan gelangen 16 – so auch im beschriebenen Fall. Neuere Studien weisen auf das retinale Pigmentepithel als potenzielles Reservoir für Mykobakterien hin 3 . Meist erfolgt die Diagnose (intra-)okulärer Tbc bei bekanntem systemischem Befall und passenden klinisch-ophthalmologischen Befunden 17 .…”
