Masquerade syndromes are disorders that can present with intraocular inflammation and are often misdiagnosed as a chronic idiopathic uveitis. The term “Masquerade Syndrome” was first used in 1967 to describe a case of conjunctival carcinoma that manifested as chronic conjunctivitis.

Uveitis is the third leading cause of worldwide blindness and currently accounts for approximately 15% of preventable vision loss worldwide. The Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) Working Group, in 2005, classified uveitis based on anatomic location into anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and panuveitis.
Ocular Toxocariasis (OT) is a clinically well-defined manifestation of Toxocara infection caused by Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati. Dogs, wolves, and foxes are the definitive hosts for T.canis, whereas domestic cats host T. cati. It usually affects children, causing painless unilateralvision loss, strabismus, or leukocoria.
disease onset is insidious and sacroiliitis is not evident on plain X-ray until the disease is at an advanced stage. The major functional losses occur during the first 10 years of disease.

FP427 : Polymerase Chain Reaction and Correlation with Treatment Response in Tuberculous UveitisOcular tuberculosis is an extra pulmonary dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis primarily from the lungs. Although ocular presentation is relatively less common than the pulmonary disease, the ocular manifestations present clinically with or without pulmonary involvement. The diagnosis and treatment of ocular tuberculosis is challenging. This is mainly due to the overlapping clinical presentations, lack of systemic evidence of disease, and difficulty in obtaining ocular tissues samples.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by the acid-fast bacillus (AFB) Mycobacterium tuberculosis. India accounts for nearly 1/3rd of global burden of TB. 1.4% of persons with PTB develop ocular manifestations but many patients with ocular TB have no evidence of PTB. Criteria for establishing a diagnosis of ocular TB are not well established so the epidemiology of ocular TB is less certain than for TB.
