[Tuberculous choroiditis].
Tuberculosis is a rare cause of choroiditis. In most cases there is only a presumptive diagnosis based on a history of TB, its clinical picture, and a positive skin test. A 79-year-o;d man complained of acute, right visual loss. On examination, choroiditis was found. During his 20s he had had pulmonary tuberculosis; his Mantoux test was positive.
