Özet

Ocular tuberculosis without systemic manifestations may rarely occur. The diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis is important because it has a wide spectrum of presentations and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The QuantiFERON-tuberculosis gold test is a new diagnostic test that may be useful in making a suitable diagnosis. Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.
