Abstract

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of OCULAR INVOLVEMENT in patients with tuberculosis (TB) infection.Methods: All patients with a new diagnosis of TB who were referred to Zahedan Tuberculosis Center underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. Any cases of known ophthalmic disease or previous OCULAR INVOLVEMENT were excluded from the study. Prevalence of OCULAR INVOLVEMENT with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated.Results: Out of 444 eyes of 222 TB patients, 19 eyes (4.3%, 95% CI: 2.6-6.6%) of 17 patients (7.7%, 95% CI: 4.5-12.0%) had some ophthalmic lesions ascribable to TB. The most frequent ophthalmic lesions were choroidal tubercles in 4 eyes (21.1%); interstitial keratitis and acute iritis each in 3 eyes (15.8%); chorioretinitis, peripapillary nodule and lid lupus vulgaris each in 2 eyes (10.5%); and retinal vasculitis, vitritis and lateral rectus paresis each in one eye (5.3%).The OCULAR INVOLVEMENT was unilateral in 88.2%. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that only the duration of TB before treatment had direct correlation with OCULAR INVOLVEMENT (odds ratio=5.22, 95% CI: 1.57-17.35).Conclusion: The frequency of OCULAR INVOLVEMENT in TB in the study population is at least 3 times greater than other countries. Early treatment of TB can reduce OCULAR INVOLVEMENT and prevent other complications of the disease.
