Purpose: Ocular tuberculosis (OTB), an extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis (TB), significantly impacts vision acuity and presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment. With ongoing research efforts, new insights into its pathogenesis and treatment have emerged. This study employed bibliometric methods to investigate key research areas and emerging trends, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the field.

endophthalmitis is a rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis, with very few cases documented in the US. We present a male patient in his 60s with a history of latent tuberculosis who presented to the hospital with complaints of acute bilateral vision loss that began three days prior to admission. The workup revealed bacteremia, a large hepatic abscess, severe orbital swelling, and acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Rationale: Compared with intraocular tuberculosis, ocular tuberculosis with ocular surface involvement is rare. Corneal involvement in ocular tuberculosis may include interstitial keratitis or peripheral ulcerative keratitis. We report a case of peripheral ulcerative keratitis directly caused by tuberculosis.

A middle-aged hypertensive female presented with headaches, tinnitus, and blurred vision for two weeks. Clinical examination revealed mild vitritis and bilateral multifocal exudative detachments at the posterior pole, together with peripheral vascular cuffing and peri-phlebitis. Laboratory testing pointed towards isolated presumed intraocular tuberculosis (IOTB) as the probable cause.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB)-immunoreactivity, measured in vivo (tuberculin skin test (TST)) or in vitro (interferon gamma release assay (IGRA)), can be found in latent, active or even following clearance of TB infection. In this case-control study, we compared the systemic and ocular outcomes between patients with or without TB-immunoreactivity, who received immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) for non-infectious uveitis.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients with (cases) or without (controls) TB-immunoreactivity (TST±IGRA), who received conventional IMT for ≥6 months, for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis.
