AIM: To identify risk factors for the development of ocular tuberculosis in patients with disseminated tuberculosis.
METHODS: A retrospective case-control study. The authors studied all admitted patients with disseminated tuberculosis in two subgroups: patients who developed ocular tuberculosis and those who did not. The potential risk factors analyzed included age, sex, presence of diabetes mellitus, and preexisting immunosuppression.
RESULTS: Of 47 patients, 26 patients (55.3%) developed ocular tuberculosis. Ocular tuberculosis was significantly associated with the presence of preexisting immunosuppression (p = .005) using a logistic regression model. Diabetes mellitus, age, and sex were not risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Preexisting immunosuppression is a risk factor.
