Özet

Giriş: Göz organında tüberküloz en sık olarak hematojen yayılım sonucu oluşur. Tüberküloz, sklerit ve episkleritin nadir bir nedenidir. Olgu: 38 yaşında mesleği hemşire olan bayan hastada tüberkülozun nadir bir formu olan sklera tüberkülozu tanısı konuldu. Tartışma: 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.
