Rare presentation of definitive ocular tuberculosis in an immunocompetent young patient.

Abstract

Ocular tuberculosis is not uncommon ocular presentation in our community nowadays. Rare presentations described mainly in the immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis of ocular TB is presumed in the vast majority of the cases of the intraocular TB. We are presenting a very rare presentation of definitive intraocular TB in a healthy 24-year-old male.
