Abstract
Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) is an extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection, which still sees variations in incidence, manifestations, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. While the disease is gaining more recognition as a differential in ocular inflammation, it remains a difficult entity to detect and treat. Global efforts to synthesize and standardize the approach to OTB could prove useful in delivering quicker, more effective care. We summarize recent insights in appropriate nomenclature, clinical presentations, diagnostic modalities and courses of treatment.Entities:
