[Specific features of tuberculous uveitis pathomorphology].
There have been great changes in the clinical picture and course of ocular tuberculosis in the 90s versus the 70-80s. There has been a upward trend in the incidence of ocular tuberculosis in the population, in children and teenagers in particular. Patients with tuberculous uveitis involving the posterior eye makes up over 70%. A specific eye tissue inflammatory process is mainly exudative and infiltrative with rapid development of the complications masking a tuberculous focus, which hampers treatment and causes a significant decrease in visual functions.
