[Use of Doppler ultrasound study in the diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The paper deals with the study of regional hemodynamics in patients with tuberculous uveitis. The comparative analysis has shown that the most significant microcirculatory changes occur in the central reticular and short posterior ciliary arteries in the presence of specific uveitis. The use of Doppler ultrasound study during tuberculin diagnosis has provided evidence that the most considerable decrease in hemodynamic parameters is detectable in patients with tuberculous uveitis. These data may be used for both the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and nonspecific uveitis and the objectivization of a focal response to the injection of tuberculin.
