Clinical Features and Prognostic Factors in Presumed Ocular Tuberculosis

Abstract

The diagnosis of ocular TB can be difficult due to the lack of extraocular manifestations and the broad spectrum of ocular features. A longer duration of symptoms at diagnosis was associated with poorer visual outcomes and cataracts. Therefore, efforts should be made to avoid a delay in the diagnosis of ocular TB and to identify prognostic factors for visual outcomes and complications.
