[Tuberculous sclerokeratitis and cutaneous tuberculids]

Sixteen years old patient presents bilateral tuberculous sclerokeratitis and papulonecrotic cutaneous tuberculids-type acnitis. The patient is a bearer of a latent tuberculous focere following a prolonged contact with a cavitar bacillary. The positive diagnosis was much facilitated by the association with acneiform dermic tuberculids at face, intense and positive local reaction to PPD and a favourable therapeutic response to tuberculostatics. The particularity of the case consists in a concomitant, cutaneous and ocular affection since the first episode, the affection evolving as a typical bilateral tuberculous sclerokeratitis.
