[Clinical aspects of ocular tuberculosis of different localization].
Detailed study of a representative clinical sample and monitoring of 410 patients with ocular tuberculosis enabled the authors disclose the pathomorphosis and describe the clinical features of the disease. Tuberculosis of anterior location is observed at middle age and is characterized by frequent relapses, monolateral involvement, predominance of mixed and exudative inflammation, and high incidence of complications.
