Purpose. To highlight the importance of using the Farnsworth Panel D-15 Hue test in colour vision testing in patients on ethambutol treatment. Case Report. A 70 year-old lady received ethambutol as part of her anti-tuberculous regime. She developed blue-yellow colour defect detectable with the Farnsworth Panel D-15 Hue test, but not with the Isihara Pseudoisochromatic Plates. Ethambutol was immediately discontinued from her anti-tuberculous regime. Two months later, her colour vision returned to normal. Conclusion. This case report illustrates the importance of regular monitoring of patients receiving ethambutol for blue-yellow colour defect using the Farnsworth Panel D-15 Hue Test.
目的。强调在接受乙胺丁醇治疗的患者的色觉测试中使用法恩斯沃思D-15色相测试的重要性。病例报告。一名70岁女性在其抗结核治疗方案中接受了乙胺丁醇治疗。通过法恩斯沃思D-15色相测试可检测到她出现蓝黄色色觉缺陷,但使用石原假同色图则检测不到。乙胺丁醇立即从她的抗结核治疗方案中停用。两个月后,她的色觉恢复正常。结论。本病例报告说明了使用法恩斯沃思D-15色相测试定期监测接受乙胺丁醇治疗的患者是否出现蓝黄色色觉缺陷的重要性。
