Treatment of Eales Disease with Active Retinal Perivasculitis and Positive Mantoux Test

This protocol addresses the inflammatory stage of Eales disease — specifically, patients presenting with active retinal perivasculitis alongside a positive Mantoux (tuberculin skin) test. This combination of findings defines a distinct sub-population and informs the treatment strategy.

Active perivasculitis in Eales disease with tuberculin reactivity has prompted specific recommendations in the ophthalmic literature. The co-occurrence of a positive Mantoux test alongside active retinal inflammation is a clinically meaningful finding that shapes the therapeutic approach.
