In the present study, 110 eyes of 81 patients with uveitis who underwent intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) injection and had a follow‑up at least 6 months between January, 2012 September, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. A total 298 IDI injections administered (mean, 2.71±2.37; range, 1‑12). The mean age was 49.44±16.67 years (range, 15‑86 years). time after first 34.31±26.53 6‑115 m...

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a severe ocular syndrome consisting of a moderate-to-severe anterior uveitis, vasculitis, and vaso-occlusive retinal necrosis. It can occur in healthy individuals at any age, but reports of this condition in children are rare.

The possible link between pulmonary fibrosis, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) positivity, and vasculitis is poorly understood. During the past 6 years, five retrospective case-control studies have been published. These studies suggest that pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an underestimated manifestation of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Common clinical characteristics include older age (...

PURPOSE A recent study revealed thickening of the inner retinal layers in acute stage of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS); however, the pathogenesis is still unknown. We report two cases with MEWDS whose funduscopy showed obvious retinal vasculitis. METHODS Case reports. RESULTS Healthy myopic 16- and 27-year-old women were the cases under study. In both cases, funduscopic exa...

Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening disease cate-gorised into several forms such as allergic, hereditary, acquired autoimmune and idiopathic. Allergic angioedema is dependent on histamine release, whereas mutations in the C1-inhibitor and factor XII genes have been described in hereditary angioedema (1, 2). Bradykinin-induced acquired angioedema is often caused by antibodies to C1-inhi...

Introduction The management of chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases has been revolutioned by the use of novel biologic agents achieving excellent results in the treatment of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). These drugs are generally well tolerated but as they are increasingly used, the incidence of adverse reaction is more common. The most frequent are localised at the injection’s site;...
