description <p> <b>E.A. Burylova, A.P. Demin, S.N. Skornyakov, E.V. Sabadash</b> </p> <p> <b>Ural Scientific Research Institute of Phtysiopulmonology – Branch of the National Medical Research Center of Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation</b> </p> <p> <i><b>Aim</b>: to assess the retina (including peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer/RNFL and retinal vessel diameter) in patients with tuberculosis (TB) or HIV/TB coinfection in the lack of abnormalities detected by standard eye exam using optical coherence tomography (OCT).</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Patients and Methods:</b> all patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=19) included patients with HIV/TB coinfection. Group 2 (n=18) included patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB. Group 3 (n=20) included healthy volunteers (controls).
