title: [Tuberculosis of the conjunctiva and eyelids].
abstract: A diagnosis of unilateral tuberculosis of the conjunctiva was established in a 75-year-old female patient eight years after the first manifestations of disease. It was clearly a case of exogenous infection. Generalized infection only became apparent months after the bulb had been removed together with the lids and the anterior portions of the orbital tissue.
