Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Intraocular tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity, with limited documented cases.
  • This study focuses on microbiologically and histopathologically confirmed cases of intraocular tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • Five cases of intraocular tuberculosis were diagnosed and treated between 1984 and 1994.
  • Clinical presentations varied, including subretinal abscesses, anterior uveitis with scleral perforation, and choroidal masses.

Findings:

  • Acid-fast bacilli were identified in ocular specimens from affected patients.
  • Histopathology revealed granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis in one enucleated globe.
  • Two patients responded well to antitubercular therapy, while three required globe removal.
