    Summary

    Ocular tuberculosis has evolved, with rising incidence in children and teens. Posterior uveitis is common, presenting as exudative inflammation that complicates treatment and impairs vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Ocular tuberculosis (TB) clinical presentation and progression have significantly changed since the late 20th century.
    • An increasing trend in ocular TB incidence has been observed, particularly affecting pediatric and adolescent populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the evolving clinical characteristics and epidemiological trends of ocular tuberculosis.
    • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing and treating ocular TB, especially posterior uveitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of clinical data from the 1970s-1980s versus the 1990s.
    • Epidemiological trend assessment focusing on age groups and affected eye segments.
    • Clinical feature analysis of tuberculous uveitis, emphasizing inflammatory patterns and complications.

    Main Results:

    • Over 70% of ocular TB cases involve posterior uveitis.
    • The inflammatory process is predominantly exudative and infiltrative.
    • Rapid development of complications often masks the tuberculous focus, hindering timely treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular tuberculosis demonstrates a changing clinical landscape with increased incidence, especially in younger individuals.
    • Posterior segment involvement and complex inflammatory presentations pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Delayed diagnosis and treatment due to masked tuberculous foci lead to substantial visual impairment.
