Uveitis and rheumatic diseases.

چکیده
Uveitis occurs among children suffering from juvenile chronic arthropathy (mainly in daughters presenting with the pauciarticular form and accompanied by antinuclear antibodies) and among adults in the group of seronegative spondylarthropathies, among which ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter's syndrome are the most representative diseases. The association between acute anterior uveitis, HLA B27 antigen and seronegative spondylarthropathies is discussed.
