研究目的
To review advances in imaging and molecular diagnostics of ocular tuberculosis, including findings from the Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS).
研究成果
Advances in imaging and molecular diagnostics have improved the understanding and management of ocular tuberculosis, but consensus on diagnosis and treatment is still lacking. Future research should focus on international collaboration and standardization.
研究不足
The paper is a review and does not conduct new experiments; limitations include reliance on existing literature, lack of standardization in diagnostic tests like PCR, and the need for prospective studies to validate findings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The paper is a review article summarizing existing studies and clinical practices, not an experimental study. It does not involve a specific experimental design or methodology beyond literature synthesis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Data are derived from previous research, including the COTS study with 945 patients (1485 eyes) diagnosed with TB uveitis from 2004 to 2014, and other cited studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not applicable as it is a review; equipment mentioned in referenced studies includes imaging devices and laboratory tests.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Not applicable; the paper describes diagnostic and imaging techniques used in clinical settings.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Not applicable; the review discusses findings from other studies without original data analysis.
