Purpose To examine the diagnostic accuracy and performance of Uvemaster, a mobile application (app) or diagnostic decision support system (DDSS) for uveitis. The app contains a large database of knowledge including 88 uveitis syndromes each with 76 clinical items, both ocular and systemic (total 6688) and their respective prevalences, and displays a differential diagnoses list (DDL) ordered by ...

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus damage to the eye is leading cause of loss visual functions associated with HIV. Effective treatment HIV-infected patients has changed understanding clinical picture cytomegalovirus uveitis (CMV-uveitis).
 AIM: The aim work determine prevalence, structure forms and evaluate in CMV-uveitis.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: study group consisted 66 CMV-uveitis (97 eye...

PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence of remission among patients with intermediate uveitis; to identify factors potentially predictive of remission. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Involved eyes of patients with primary noninfectious intermediate uveitis at 4 academic ocular inflammation subspecialty practices, followed sufficiently long to meet the remission outcome definition, wer...

BACKGROUND The study aims to report the association between successful uveitis control following anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT) for uveitis associated with a positive tuberculosis (TB) screening test in a low endemic setting. A retrospective chart review of cases between 2010 and 2017 at a tertiary uveitis referral center in the United States of America was conducted. Subjects with any form of ...

S ystemic disease associations in uveitis are widespread, ranging from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, to demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. In some cases, the systemic disease is diagnosed before onset of uveitis, whereas in others uveitis is the initial presentation of the underlying or associated condition. Two significant ques...

Although children represent only 5% to 10% of all patients in most uveitis clinics, [1,2] familiarity with the diagnosis and management of pediatric uveitis is critical. Children with uveitis may have late presentations, limited ability to communicate symptoms, and examinations limited by cooperation which may create management dilemmas. Outcomes may be influenced by amblyopia and therapeutic l...

Infectious uveitis is a significant cause of blindness in South Africa, especially among HIV-infected individuals. The visual outcome of uveitis depends on early clinical and laboratory diagnosis to guide therapeutic intervention. Analyses of aqueous humor, obtained by anterior chamber paracentesis, directs the differential diagnosis in infectious uveitis. However, although safe and potentially...

PURPOSE To determine the seroprevalence of various infectious agents in Thai patients with uveitis. METHODS Prospective study of 101 consecutive patients with uveitis, 100 HIV-infected retinitis patients, and 100 nonuveitis controls. RESULTS Antibodies against T. gondii were detected in 31/101 non-HIV patients, mostly with posterior uveitis and focal retinitis, and were significantly higher...

The histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 was identified in 12 out of 33 patients with acute non-granulomatous anterior uveitis. This is a frequency of 36.36%, compared with 4.72% in controls. Seven patients had in addition evidence of systemic disease, including ankylosing spondylitis, sacroiliitis, Reiter's disease, Still's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Five of these were HLA-B27 positive, ...
