IGRA-positive serpiginous choroiditis (serpiginous-like choroiditis) could be halted by combined multiple tuberculostatic and multiple immunosuppressive agents, as seen in our study where 3/4 early treated patients had conserved central function and one late treated patient had recovered a substantial amount of visual field. In all 4 patients this treatment regimen halted the progression of the disease.
