Clinical characteristics, management, and visual outcomes of presumed infectious and non-infectious anterior scleritis in a tuberculosis-endemic Indonesian Tertiary Center.

Non-infectious scleritis was more common than presumed infectious scleritis, although the proportion of presumed infectious disease was relatively high, likely due to the high proportion of presumed tuberculosis-associated cases.

In tuberculosis-endemic settings, these findings underscore the need for careful etiologic evaluation, close follow-up, and multidisciplinary management.

Interpretation remains limited by the retrospective design, incomplete follow-up, and limited microbiologic confirmation.
