During the first 5 years (1963-67) of a new Medical Ophthalmology Unit, 204 of the 1700 admissions had endogenous uveitis. It was anterior in 141 (70 Y.), posterior in thirty-three (16%) and generalized in thirty (14%). Acute uveitis in ninety-seven patients ended in the course of months whereas chronic uveitis in 107 was measured over the years, punctuated by relapses. Sex distribution was equ...

PURPOSE Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis can lead to ocular complications and vision loss. Alleles HLA-DRB1*08, *11, and *13 are risk alleles for JIA, whereas HLA-DRB1*11 and *13 alleles increase uveitis susceptibility. We examined the association of common HLA-DRB1 alleles in children with JIA alone and JIA-associated uveitis. METHODS High-resolution HLA-DRB1 genotyping...

Results Of the 16 patients, 10 were treated with etanercept (62.5%), 1 with adalimumab (6.25%), and 5 (31.2%) with infliximab. Notably, two cases of uveitis were associated with use of etanercept. In 5 patients (31.2%) the antiTNF was changed because of lack of efficacy and/or side effects to another one (in 4/5 adalimumab). Ten patients had a complicated uveitis (cataract in 5). The number of ...

Ein Teil der Kinder und Jugendlichen mit einer juvenilen idiopathischen Arthritis (JIA) entwickeln im Verlauf eine Uveitis. Besteht ein zeitlicher Zusammenhang zwischen den Gelenkmanifestationen Augenerkrankung? Und sollte Arthritisschub gezielt nach Uveitis gesucht werden? Diesen Frage ging Forscherteam aus USA mithilfe retrospektiven Kohortenstudie nach.

PURPOSE Previous reports have identified noninfectious uveitis as a potential sequela following both intravitreal bevacizumab and ranibizumab injections. We present two unique cases of acute anterior uveitis following intravitreal bevacizumab that did not occur with subsequent ranibizumab injections. METHODS Case report. CONCLUSION These cases may reflect differences in the etiology of ante...
