| Popis: | To investigate recurrence patterns following anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) in different anatomical presentations of ocular tuberculosis (OTB).Retrospective analysis of clinically diagnosed OTB patients divided anatomically into groups A (anterior + intermediate uveitis) and B (posterior + panuveitis). Recurrence was defined as reappearance of intraocular inflammation in a quiescent eye following completion of at least 6-months ATT. Anatomical sites of recurrence were compared to that of presentation.No significant difference in post-ATT recurrent inflammation was noted between groups A (14.29%, 4/28) and B (8.59%,11/128) (Anterior and intermediate uveitis, though uncommon at presentation, are relatively more common during post-ATT recurrences in OTB. |
