title: Resolution of chronic ocular sarcoidosis with antimycobacterial therapy.
abstract: Ocular and cutaneous sarcoidosis is a chronic manifestation of sarcoidosis that remains difficult to treat. Recent investigations demonstrating efficacy with antimicrobial therapy in pulmonary and cutaneous sarcoidosis have been reported. Here, we report dual clinical improvement in cutaneous and ocular sarcoidosis following administration of oral antimycobacterial therapy.
