Although cases of ocular tuberculosis (TB) are increasing, involvement of the eyelid and orbit are unusual. These cases occur secondary to the presence of TB elsewhere in the body, usually pulmonary TB. The primary infection of orbit or eyelid is a rare occurrence. We report a 4-year-old child with primary orbital TB and involvement of the eyelid. The diagnosis of TB should not be missed in patients with ocular symptoms (especially in India) as it is a treatable condition and delays in diagnosis or incorrect diagnosis can lead to serious sequelae.
尽管眼部结核病病例在增加，但眼睑和眼眶受累并不常见。这些病例继发于身体其他部位存在结核病，通常是肺结核。眼眶或眼睑的原发性感染很少见。我们报告一例4岁原发性眼眶结核并累及眼睑的患儿。对于有眼部症状的患者（尤其是在印度），不应漏诊结核病，因为它是可治疗的疾病，诊断延迟或诊断错误可能导致严重后果。
