Infective posterior scleritis is rare, especially when linked to tuberculosis. This case highlights a successful treatment approach combining corticosteroids and tuberculosis therapy for this unusual presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Posterior scleritis is an uncommon inflammatory eye condition.
  • Infective causes of posterior scleritis are rare.
  • Systemic tuberculosis is a significant global health concern.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with isolated posterior scleritis.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed systemic tuberculosis.
  • This represents a novel association between these two conditions.

Findings:

  • The patient's posterior scleritis was successfully treated.
  • Treatment involved a combination of oral corticosteroids and antituberculosis therapy.
  • This dual approach effectively managed both the ocular inflammation and the systemic infection.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of posterior scleritis.
  • It underscores the importance of considering systemic infections, like tuberculosis, in cases of isolated posterior scleritis.
  • The findings suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for similar rare presentations.
