Resumo: dc.description.abstractTuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which primarily affects the lung tissue, and may affect any other organ such as through the hematogenous route. Ocular tuberculosis is a form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with an incidence of 1 to 2% in systemic tuberculosis. It can affect all ocular structures, being the uvea most frequently affected. As it is an epidemic disease in Brazil, primary health care is very important for correct diagnosis and early specific treatment. We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient who presented with uveitis followed by retinal detachment. Only the IGRA marker quantiferon (Interferon-Gamma Release Assays) proved to be reactive, diagnosing extrapulmonary ocular tuberculosis.pt_BR
