UNASSIGNED: The World Health Organization currently estimates that nearly two billion @entity1 , or one-third of the world's population, are infected by @entity378 , and that roughly 10% of the infected @entity1 are symptomatic. @entity378 affects the lungs in 80% of @entity1 , while in the remaining 20% the disease may affect other organs, including the eye. @entity1596 can be seen concurrently with @entity378 , but a direct association is difficult to prove. @entity24181 is usually not associated with clinical evidence of @entity1907 , as up to 60% of extrapulmonary @entity378 @entity1 may not have @entity358 . The diagnosis of @entity1596 is often problematic and in nearly all reported cases, the diagnosis was only presumptive. @entity1596 is a great mimicker of various @entity1596 entities and it can be considered in the differential diagnosis of any type of @entity32 . It is still unknown if ocular manifestations result from a direct @entity4507 or @entity56 reaction and this is reflected on the management of @entity1596 . Prevalence of @entity378 as an etiology of @entity1596 may reach up to 10% in endemic areas. @entity1596 is a vision-threatening disease that inevitably leads to @entity1939 if not properly diagnosed and treated. The aim of this review is to illustrate the various clinical features and management of presumed @entity1596 . The current review focuses on the diagnostic criteria, significance of tuberculin skin test, and use of systemic @entity288 in the management of @entity1596 as recommended in recent publications.
