Role of antituberculous therapy in latent tuberculosis with ocular manifestations

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis is an airborne infectious illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Extra-pulmonary TB, often known as ocular tuberculosis, can occur alone or in conjunction with pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the eye can be caused by an active infection or a type 4 hypersensitivity reaction.
