    Tuberculous uveitis can manifest decades after initial infection. Early diagnosis via tuberculin skin testing and treatment with isoniazid, alongside advanced imaging and laser therapy, are crucial for managing this rare ocular condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous uveitis is a rare intraocular inflammation caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
    • Delayed presentation of ocular tuberculosis, even decades after primary infection, poses diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case of tuberculous uveitis presenting 34 years post-primary articular tuberculosis is detailed.
    • The study highlights the diagnostic utility of the tuberculin skin test in delayed presentations.
    • Fluorescein angiography proved vital for monitoring choroidal lesions.

    Findings:

    • Isoniazid demonstrated effective therapeutic outcomes in managing the ocular tuberculosis.
    • Argon laser photocoagulation successfully treated associated subretinal neovascularization.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of uveitis, irrespective of the time elapsed since primary infection.
    • Integrated management involving systemic anti-tuberculosis therapy, advanced ocular imaging, and targeted interventions like laser photocoagulation is essential for favorable visual prognosis.
