Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) is a significant cause of visual morbidity and can have varied clinical manifestations. Recent advances in imaging and molecular diagnostic methods have greatly improved our understanding of the disease process. We conducted a search of published articles related to the diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis as of December 2021. Keywords were used to search the databases. Databases that were searched included PubMed and Scopus. Areas covered This review highlights the role of novel imaging modalities including ultra-widefield fundus photography, widefield fluorescein angiography, widefield indocyanine green angiography, swept-source optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography in the diagnosis of OTB. Radiological, immunological, and molecular diagnostic methods and their role in diagnosis of OTB have been discussed as well. Expert opinion With recent advancements in imaging, radiological, immunological, and molecular diagnostic methods, it is now possible to diagnose and treat ocular tuberculosis with greater accuracy, resulting in better treatment outcomes.

眼结核的诊断进展

摘要简介眼结核（OTB）是导致视觉疾病的重要原因，有多种临床表现。影像学和分子诊断方法的最新进展极大地提高了我们对疾病过程的理解。我们检索了截至2021年12月已发表的与眼结核诊断相关的文章。关键字用于搜索数据库。搜索的数据库包括PubMed和Scopus。本综述强调了新型成像模式在OTB诊断中的作用，包括超宽视野眼底摄影、宽视野荧光素血管造影术、宽视野吲哚青绿血管造影学、扫源光学相干断层扫描和光学相干断层成像血管造影剂。还讨论了放射、免疫学和分子诊断方法及其在OTB诊断中的作用。专家意见随着影像学、放射学、免疫学和分子诊断方法的最新进展，现在可以更准确地诊断和治疗眼结核，从而获得更好的治疗结果。

期刊介绍： The worldwide problem of visual impairment is set to increase, as we are seeing increased longevity in developed countries. This will produce a crisis in vision care unless concerted action is taken. The substantial value that ophthalmic interventions confer to patients with eye diseases has led to intense research efforts in this area in recent years, with corresponding improvements in treatment, ophthalmic instrumentation and surgical techniques. As a result, the future for ophthalmology holds great promise as further exciting and innovative developments unfold.
