La enfermedad de Eales es una perivasculitis retiniana caracterizada por tres fases que incluyen a la inflamación, isquemia y neovascularización de la retina. Se reporta el caso de un paciente varón de 29 años con pérdida progresiva de la visión de un año de evolución sin respuesta a tratamiento médico ni quirúrgico, diagnosticado con enfermedad de Eales de causa tuberculosa. La etiología de la enfermedad de Eales es multifactorial, por ello el tratamiento continúa siendo controversial. Sin embargo, se postula un tipo de hipersensibilidad a la proteína tuberculosa, la cual estaría relacionada con la enfermedad. Después de iniciar el tratamiento con antituberculosos, mejoró la agudeza visual del paciente y desaparecieron las hemorragias; es decir, se obtuvo una respuesta favorable.

Objectives: Peer-assisted learning (PAL) is a supportive strategy in medical education. In Peru, this method has been implemented by few universities. However, there are no consistent studies evaluating their acceptability by medical students. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception of medical students about PAL in five Peruvian universities. Results: A total of 79 medical students were included in the study. The mean age was 20.1 ± 1.9 years, 54% were female, and 87% were in the first 4 years of study. Most of the students were satisfied with classes and peer teachers. Similarly, most of the students agreed with the interest in developing teaching skills. It was also observed that 97% of students approved to implement PAL in medical education programs.
