title: Hypopyon uveitis-a rare presentation of intraocular tuberculosis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Intraocular TB is usually known to present as granulomatous uveitis and presence of hypopyon is extremely rare. The authors describe a case of intraocular tuberculosis presenting as hypopyon uveitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 40-year-old immunosuppressed woman presented with acute granulomatous uveitis with hypopyon and cervical lymphadenopathy. She underwent aqueous tap for polymerase chain reaction, lymph node biopsy, and PET scan.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Molecular diagnostic procedures provided a definite diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis. Antitubercular treatment and steroids led to improvement.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intraocular TB can present as hypopyon uveitis and a high index of suspicion is needed, especially in the endemic areas.
