Abstract
We report a case of miliary tuberculosis in an 11-year-old child, with phlyctenular keratoconjonctivitis and choroidal and choroidal tubercl es in both fundi. Fluorescein angiography showed early hypofluorescenc e and the late moderate hyperflorescence associated with a disseminate d choroidis. The presence of these lesions supported diagnosis of tube rculosis in our patient because of their typical clinical and angiogra phic aspects.
