This case study highlights ocular tuberculosis, an uncommon extrapulmonary form. Early diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions led to improved vision and stabilized retinal findings.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can present with varied manifestations.
  • Ocular involvement in tuberculosis is rare but significant.
  • Cutaneous manifestations may precede or accompany ocular disease.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with chronic leg skin efflorescences.
  • Ocular examination revealed chorioretinitis suggestive of tuberculous etiology.
  • The patient had received prolonged treatment for skin lesions without resolution.

Findings:

  • Specific anti-tuberculosis therapy resulted in rapid healing of cutaneous lesions.
  • Retinal findings stabilized following the initiation of appropriate treatment.
  • This case underscores the link between extrapulmonary tuberculosis and ocular pathology.

Implications:

  • Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of uveitis, especially with concurrent skin lesions.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management of extrapulmonary tuberculosis can prevent irreversible ocular damage.
  • This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex infectious diseases.
