title: Disseminated tuberculosis with ocular tuberculoma and disseminated candidiasis in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
abstract: A 39 years man presented with painless progressive loss of vision and proptosis of left eye associated with constitutional symptoms. He was diagnosed to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with disseminated tuberculosis (TB) and invasive candidiasis. The proptosis was due to a retrobulbar mass. The uncommon occurrence of retrobulbar tuberculoma and invasive candidiasis is discussed and relevant literature is reviewed.
