ocular tuberculosis, evolution of ocular tuberculosis , clinical features of ocular tuberculosisAbstract
Ocular tuberculosis, a severe pathology of the eye, involves problems of diagnosis and treatment. The clinical manifestations presented in the specialized literature are very varied and differ in endemic areas for tuberculosis and non-endemic areas. For the effectiveness of the management of ocular tuberculosis, it is important to know the clinical peculiarities specific to the geographical area and to maintain vigilance for this serious pathology.
