Abstract :
A 30‑year‑old man who was recently diagnosed as
having diabetes presented with symptoms of weight loss,
fever, and cough persisting for 2 months. A computed
tomogram of his chest revealed multiple, diffuse,
miliary, nodular lung opacities, and a transbronchial
lung biopsy revealed caseating granulomas. With
the diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis, he was started
on anti‑tubercular therapy (ATT). After a week of
initiation of treatment, he was evaluated for the mild
blurring of vision. He had a visual acuity of 20/30 in
the right eye (RE) and 20/20 in the left eye (LE).
