The Eye in the Tuberculous Patient

Ocular Tuberculosis

“…In 1890, Terson (6) reported two cases of tuberculous iritis in a population of 30,000 patients with ocular disease. In patients with known systemic tuberculosis, the incidence of ocular involvement is, as expected, much higher (7–9). A study reported in 1967 found an incidence of ocular tuberculosis of 1.4% in 10,524 patients at a tuberculosis sanitarium (7).…”

Ocular tuberculosis misdiagnosed as retinoblastoma: an interesting case

“…Studies conducted in the period before AIDS reported an incidence of 1–2% for ocular disease,3 , 4 while surveys conducted in the AIDS era have found incidence rates varying from 2.8%5 to 18% 6…”

“…The incidence of ocular tuberculosis has been the subject of controversy due to difficulties in ocular sampling for microbiology and inexact diagnostic criteria 2. Studies conducted in the period before AIDS reported an incidence of 1–2% for ocular disease,3 , 4 while surveys conducted in the AIDS era have found incidence rates varying from 2.8%5 to 18% 6…”
