To investigate recurrence patterns following anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) in different anatomical presentations of ocular tuberculosis (OTB).
Retrospective analysis of clinically diagnosed OTB patients divided anatomically into groups A (anterior + intermediate uveitis) and B (posterior + panuveitis). Recurrence was defined as reappearance of intraocular inflammation in a quiescent eye following completion of at least 6-months ATT. Anatomical sites of recurrence were compared to that of presentation.
No significant difference in post-ATT recurrent inflammation was noted between groups A (14.29%, 4/28) and B (8.59%,11/128) ( = .57). Mean follow up was 13.13 ± 14.67 months. All group A recurrences were in the same anatomical segment, whereas in group B, 41.7% (5/11) recurrences were in group A sites. Overall, the group A:B ratio was significantly higher during recurrent inflammation (8:7) than at presentation (28:128) ( < .0001, z-score).
Anterior and intermediate uveitis, though uncommon at presentation, are relatively more common during post-ATT recurrences in OTB.
研究抗结核治疗(ATT)后不同解剖表现的眼结核(OTB)的复发模式。
对临床诊断的OTB患者进行回顾性分析,根据解剖部位分为A组(前葡萄膜炎+中间葡萄膜炎)和B组(后葡萄膜炎+全葡萄膜炎)。复发定义为在至少6个月的ATT治疗结束后,静止眼中再次出现眼内炎症。将复发的解剖部位与初次发病的部位进行比较。
A组(14.29%,4/28)和B组(8.59%,11/128)在ATT后复发炎症方面无显著差异(P = 0.57)。平均随访时间为13.13±14.67个月。A组所有复发均发生在相同的解剖节段,而B组中41.7%(5/11)的复发发生在A组的部位。总体而言,复发炎症期间A组与B组的比例(8:7)显著高于初次发病时(28:128)(P < 0.0001,z值)。
前葡萄膜炎和中间葡萄膜炎在初次发病时虽不常见,但在OTB的ATT后复发期间相对更常见。
