Choroidal neovascular membrane in intraocular tuberculosis
1Department of Vitreoretina and Uvea, ICARE Eye Hospital & Postgraduate Institute, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Abstract:
Recently, Lodhi SA and colleagues have reported on a patient with choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) associated with tubercular granuloma, who responded to intravitreal bevacizumab injections. The available literature regarding CNVM associated with intraocular tuberculosis is briefly discussed. Choroidal neovascular membrane is a possible complication of choroidal tuberculosis and the patients should be informed about this risk. However, patients usually respond well to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents as evidenced by the case reported by us and the current case reported by Lodhi et al.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
