Tuberculosis
I've diagnosed with pulmonary TB. Started category 1 DOTS... 1 years ago i had vasculitis and chorodotis in r & l eye .... Temporarily vision reduced... I was on wysolene steroids for 2 months... Inflammation diagnosed...PGI chandigarh docs say they don't know the reason .. But floaters and flashes increased...Vision distorted.... Inflammation reduced...... vision somehow improved then....I want to know is TB has to do something with that...If yes then this treatment is enough... Or i have to do something else... I sometimes feel 3-4 stomata in both eyes......Feeling helpless...
I have found such cases in my long career , you will alright with att , you have to take B12 (pyridoxine )20mg per day till ATT continues because ethambutol may lead to optic neuritis resulting in complete blindness.
