摘要
A case of tuberculosis of the conjunctiva in association with a neighbouring lupus vulgaris lesion is reported. Both lesions resolved within one month of starting antituberculous therapy. Tuberculosis of the conjunctiva is nowadays a rare condition. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any unusual chronic conjunctivitis, particularly in patients who are at risk of contracting tuberculosis.
