The results of examination were analyzed in 314 patients with tuberculosis of the eye, including 120 patients having its inactive phase. Tuberculin skin tests were performed in 31 patients; fluorescence angiography and photostress tests were conducted in 122 patients, and 120 patients underwent lacrimal fluid crystallography. To define the cure rate in tuberculosis of the eye, it is necessary to have a complex of criteria: no clinical signs of active tuberculous inflammation in the ocular tunics and environments; no clinical, X-ray, and laboratory manifestations of tuberculosis of other organs; no focal and significant overall reaction to tuberculin injected in doses of 2 and 50 TU. If there are contraindications to tuberculin skin tests to conclude whether the disease is cured, it is necessary to use fluorescence angiography of the fundus of the eye, lacrimal fluid crystallography, and/or photostress tests in combination with biochemical and immunological blood studies.
