non-granulomatous uveitis

چکیده
Histopathological and immunological investigations have been performed in 16 cases of post-traumatic granulomatous (10) and non-granulomatous uveitis (6). Most cases of sympathetic ophthalmitis showed evidence of cell mediated immunity to uveoretinal antigens, though it was not possible to make a definitive diagnosis on immunological grounds alone. Three patients with post-traumatic non-granulomatous uveitis showed a positive immunological response to ocular antigens, and 2 of these later developed clinical evidence of sympathetic ophthalmitis, which suggests that post-traumatic non-granulomatous uveitis in such cases may represent a presympathetic (i.e., incipient) or modified stage of the disease.

Unilateral Anterior Non-Granulomatous Uveitis as COVID-19 Complication
Background: Since prevalence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), millions of infected people presented with various manifestations. Some studies report ocular complications, such as conjunctivitis and sub-conjunctival haemorrhage, as an initial manifestation of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This article aims to report unilateral acute anterior non-granulomatous uvei...

PURPOSE To compare the morphologic features of keratic precipitates (KPs) by confocal microscopy in granulomatous versus nongranulomatous noninfectious uveitis. METHODS KP morphology was determined by confocal scan in patients with noninfectious granulomatous and noninfectious nongranulomatous uveitic cases. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-seven eyes of 90 subjects with noninfectious uveitis...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of presumed ocular tuberculosis among diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients in a tertiary government hospital in the Philippines and determine its common presentation in the population. This was a cross-sectional study in which 103 patients who were labeled to have active pulmonary tuberculosis underwent history and ocul...
متن کاملGranulomatous uveitis in neurological disease.
Five women with granulomatous uveitis were diagnosed as having probable multiple sclerosis. Three of the women developed curious iris nodules that resolved with topical prednisolone acetate treatment. The association of granulomatous type uveitis, with or without iris nodules, should alert the ophthalmologist to inquire about neurological symptoms attributable to multiple sclerosis.
متن کاملHyperfluorescent dots in the ciliary body band in patients with granulomatous uveitis.
Fluorescein gonioangiography was performed in 4 eyes of 4 patients with ocular sarcoidosis and in an eye of a patient with presumptive tuberculous anterior uveitis. Small discrete whitish lesions in the ciliary body band near the iris root showed hyperfluorescent shortly after fluorescein injection. These hyperfluorescence dots seemed to be pathognomonic changes in cases with granulomatous uvei...
