title: [Tuberculous papillitis].
abstract: METHODS
  We describe a 65-year-old asymptomatic woman with unilateral optic disc edema. Laboratory testing revealed a very marked positive PPD (25 mm) with dermatolysis. Anti-tuberculosis therapy resulted in complete resolution.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Tuberculosis should be considered in the diagnosis of papillitis, even in asymptomatic patients.
