Abstract

Ocular tuberculosis is a granulomatous infection of the intraocular and surrounding tissues caused by M. tuberculosis. It usually results from an active infection, hypersensitivity, or immunological response to an aseptic reaction. Our case was admitted with low vision. Ultrasonography revealed a choroidal granuloma in the left eye and a cavitary lesion in the left posterior segment. Eye symptoms resolved with the treatment of tuberculous meningitis. In countries where the incidence of tuberculosis is high, tuberculous meningitis and ocular tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of meningitis and/or eye symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment is also critical in these patients. Furthermore, it should be kept in mind that systemic treatment of tuberculosis may result in regressed ocular lesions without any need for adjuvant therapy

Özet

Oküler tuberküloz; M. tuberkulosisin göz içinde ve çevresindeki dokularda oluşturduğu granülomatöz bir enfeksiyondur. Aktif bir enfeksiyon,hipersensivite veya aseptik reaksiyona bağlı immunolojik bir yanıt sonucu oluşabilir. Olgumuzda görme azlığı olan hastanın sol gözünde koroidal granülom ve sol göz arka segment ultrasonografisinde kaviter lezyon saptandı. Tuberküloz menenjit tedavisi ile görme bulguları da düzeldi. Tuberküloz insidansının yüksek olduğu ülkelerde menenjit kliniği ve/veya göz bulguları ile başvuran hastaların ayırıcı tanısında tuberküloz menenjit ve oküler tuberküloz düşünülmeli, erken tanı ve tedavileri sağlanmalıdır. Ayrıca sistemik tuberküloz tedavisinin ek tedaviye gerek kalmadan oküler lezyonda gerilemeye yol açtığı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır
