Abstract
|
|
|
Two groups of tuberculosis patients who were admittee to the National Masan
Hospital, matched in pairs for age and duration of chemotherapy, have been studied. One
group had received ethambutol in a mean dosage of 14.4㎎/㎏ and the other
anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy not including ethambutol, for at least 3 months.
All patients had routine ophthalogical assessments on admission to the study, including
examination of the fundi, visual fields and macular thresholds. Intra-ocular pressures
were measured and a water-drinking test was then carried out.
There was no evidence of ocular toxicity or that ethambutol in the dosages studied has
an effect on intra-ocular pressure.
