PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three patients diagnosed and treated for orbital tuberculosis, in the \"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo\" during the years of 1999 and 2001. RESULTS: All of the patients were female and referred a chronic evolution of swelling of one eyelid associated or not with other symptoms. They had not HIV infection. Two of them had positive epidemiology for tuberculosis. However, the search for systemic evidence of the disease and staining for bacilli (Ziehl-Neelsen method) were negative in all three patients. In all the cases, only the biopsy with immunohistochemical analysis could confirm the diagnosis. COMMENTS: Orbital involvement is a rare ocular manifestation of tuberculosis. Even in a tertiary hospital, few cases, if any, are diagnosed per year. However, the global incidence and prevalence of M. tuberculosis infections is not under control yet, and it has been a serious public health problem. Thus, one must be aware of the possibility of tuberculosis among the orbital diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652004000500012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]],"date-time":"2005-04-27T13:34:25Z","timestamp":1114608865000},"page":"291-294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Orbital tuberculosis diagnosed by immunohistochemistry: case reports"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Br\u00e1ulio F.T.","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernanda C.","family":"Takay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatiana M.","family":"Shida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruth M.","family":"Santo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abelardo C.","family":"Souza Jr.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital da Piedade, Niter\u00f3i, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzana","family":"Matayoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"235","DOI":"10.1080\/07853890310005713","article-title":"The world-wide increase in tuberculosis: how demographic changes, HIV infection and increasing numbers in poverty are increasing tuberculosis","volume":"35","author":"DAVIES P.D.O.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Ann.
