An Unusual Unilateral Tubercular Panuveitis Presenting as Endophthalmitis: A Case Study at a Tertiary Hospital in India

Alka C M


Abstract: Ocular tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. This case study describes a 51-year-old male with suspected unilateral tubercular panuveitis presenting as endophthalmitis. Despite initial response to treatment, the patient?s condition rapidly deteriorated, posing diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms with infective endophthalmitis. This article discusses the diagnostic dilemmas, treatment strategies, and the importance of considering differential diagnoses in similar cases.
