Differences between <i>Mycobacterium chimaera</i> and <i>tuberculosis</i> Using Ocular Multimodal Imaging: A Systematic Review
Due to their non-specific diagnostic patterns of ocular infection, differential diagnosis between <i>Mycobacterium</i> (<i>M.</i>) <i>chimaera</i> and <i>tuberculosis</i> can be challenging. In both disorders, ocular manifestation can be the first sign...
