Abstract
The study has indicated that in the 1990th, there has been considerable changes in the clinical picture and course of ocular tuberculous lesions. Their morbidity has tended to increase in children, adolescents, and young individuals. Patients with tuberculous uveitis with posterior eyeball lesions are more than 70%. The specific inflammatory process is primarily exudative and infiltrative, followed by rapid development of complications that prevail over the major focus, prevent treatment and substantially deteriorate visual functions. The findings are important not only for understanding the pathogenetic development of an ocular tuberculous process and they provide evidence for the approach to be used in the treatment of various manifestations of ocular tuberculosis.Entities:
