BackgroundScleritis is a painful inflammatory process centered in the sclera that may involve the cornea and the underlying uvea. The etiology is commonly idiopathic or autoimmune but some cases are associated with systemic infection such as tuberculosis.Case presentationIn this report, we describe an unusual case of a female Moroccan patient who had a long history of bilateral recurrent scleritis associated with peripheral keratopathy and anterior uveitis. The patient was diagnosed with latent tuberculosis and responded to antitubercular therapy administrated after exclusion of other aetiologies. This patient was finally diagnosed with latent tuberculosis- related scleritis.ConclusionsAlthough systemic tuberculosis is reported as a possible cause of scleritis and other ocular inflammatory manifestations, assessment of the diagnosis of tuberculosis-related ocular inflammation is challenging especially in latent forms. The treatment is largely presumptive. However, a favorable response to antitubercular therapy without relapse is taken as evidence of the disease.

Le syndrome de Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) est une affection systémique rare, sévère mettant en jeu le pronostic visuel malgré les traitements agressifs, caractérisée par l'association de plusieurs symptômes: oculaires, méningés, auditifs et cutanés secondaire à une auto-immunisation où le mélanocyte serait la cellule cible. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas rare où l'atteinte oculaire est isolée. La sévérité de l'uvéite réside dans la fréquence des récidives, dans la cortico-résistance et dans la forte incidence des complications qui conditionnent le pronostic et expliquent les acuités visuelles finales médiocres. La prise en charge doit être précoce afin d'essayer d'améliorer le pronostic visuel.
