title: [Ocular tuberculosis should not be neglected].
abstract: As increasingly frequent immigration in China, the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) as well as special populations (acquired immune deficiency syndrome, diabetes, etc.) continue to increase, ocular tuberculosis has become an important cause of infectious uveitis. Because the clinical manifestations of this disease manifested in various forms, currently it lacks a unified reliable diagnostic criteria. Misdiagnosis could occur and cause patients' visual loss. The diagnostic criteria for tuberculous uveitis in Chinese patients, the standardized anti-TB therapy and the prevention of tuberculous uveitis in immune dysfunctionalpatients should be made and noted as early as possible by all the ophthalmologists.
