Rifabutin-induced hypopyon uveitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome infected with Mycobacterium avium complex.
Rifabutin is a semi-synthetic antimycobacterial agent mainly used in the prophylaxis and treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients. Uveitis as a side effect of rifabutin has been recognized and established since 1994, but there was no case previously described in Taiwan so far. We report 2 cases of rifabutin-induced hypopyon uveitis in patient...
متن کاملDifferences in the composition of inflammatory cell infiltrate in lens-induced uveitis under therapy with allopurinol or steroids.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the qualitative changes in the composition of inflammatory cell infiltrate in lens-induced uveitis (LIU) under treatment with allopurinol (Allo), methylprednisolone (Pred) or the two drugs combined (Allo/Pred). METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats were sensitized with lens proteins for eight weeks. Intravenous (IV) therapy was started after anterior cap...
متن کاملBilateral uveitis associated with concurrent administration of rifabutin and nelfinavir
Rifabutin-associated uveitis has been recognized as a dosage-dependent side effect. Previous studies have reported that clarithromycin or fluconazole may elevate concentrations of rifabutin through inhibition of metabolism through the cytochrome P-450 pathway. Nelfinavir is a protease inhibitor widely used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The interactions betwee...
متن کاملVitreous Analysis in the Management of Uveitis
A correct diagnosis of uveitis is often challenging, given the wide range of possible underlying conditions and the lack of typical phenotypes. Management decisions may be difficult in view of the risk of visual loss with either inappropriate or delayed therapy. Analysis of the vitreous may therefore be used to provide the clinician with valuable information. In this paper, we describe the main...
متن کاملVitreous Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Uveitis
Accurate diagnosis of the etiology of inflammatory eye disease is crucial for appropriate treatment and management. In most cases, the diagnosis can be made by non-invasive techniques. It has been estimated however, that in approximately 8% of cases with uveitis, clinical presentation is non-specific or atypical and systemic medical evaluation is inconclusive. Diagnostic sampling of ocular spec...
