Abstract. Purpose:To report 2 cases who were diagnosed with tuberculous uveitis based on tuberculin and of QuantiFERON tests. Cases:Both were males aged 35 and 36 years respectively. They were referred to us as retinal vasculitis in both eyes. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 or over in both cases. Findings were identical in both cases. No sign of inflammation was present in the anterior segment. Both eyes showed occlusive retinal vasculitis with hemorrhage. Fluorescein angiography showed extensive areas of nonperfusion. Both showed positive tuberculin and QuantiFERON tests. Systemic studies failed to show signs of tuberculosis. Fundus lesions improved in one case and ran a protracted course with rubeosis iridis in the other. Conclusion:QuantiFERON test promises to be of use as an adjunct diagnostic tool in ocular tuberculosis.
