Our research and comparison of the regional-dynamics condition in patients with ocular tuberculosis (OT) and uveitis of a non-specific etiology revealed the below signs typical of OT: a decreased (by 12% and more) maximum systolic blood-flow velocity (V max) and a decreased minimal diastolic blood-flow velocity (V min--by 53% and more) in the central retinal artery (CRA); as well as a decreased V max (by 34% and more) and a decreased V min (by 72%) in the posterior short ciliary arteries (PSCA). A higher resistance index was registered in the CRA (by 12%) and in the PSCA (by 11%). A higher maximum systolic and minimal diastolic velocity of blood flow in the CRA and PSCA is typical of uveitis of a non-specific etiology.
