FREQUENCY OF DETECTION OF EPISCLERITIS AMONG CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH TUBERCULOSIS

Abstract

It is known that episcleritis often develops in children and adolescents with tuberculosis. But sometimes episcleritis and its symptoms occur even earlier than the clinical picture of tuberculosis, which is the main cause of inflammation of the episclera of the eyes. Since the root cause of episcleritis is the presence of tuberculosis in children and adolescents, episcleritis will remain or recur until the root cause of the disease is cured. All this dictates the need for timely diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in children and adolescents.
