Özet

Göz organında tüberküloz en sık olarak hematojen yayılım sonucu oluşur. Tüberküloz, sklerit ve episkleritin nadir bir nedenidir. 38 yaşında mesleği hemşire olan bayan hastada tüberkülozun nadir bir formu olan sklera tüberkülozu tanısı konuldu. Tüberküloz hastalarında oküler tutulum %1,39 ile %2.8 arasında değişmektedir. Oküler tutulum kalıcı görme sorunlarına neden olabildiği için, göz hastalıkları uzmanları enflamatuar göz hastalıklarında tüberkülozu düşünmeli ve ayırıcı tanıda yer vermemeleri durumunda ciddi sonuçların ortaya çıkabileceğinin farkında olmalıdırlar.
