BACKGROUND Herpetic anterior uveitis is a frequent cause of infectious uveitis. A definite diagnosis is obtained by anterior chamber puncture and polymerase chain reaction, an invasive procedure. We hypothesized that patients with herpetic anterior uveitis have a certain pattern of inflammatory cells in their cornea that distinguishes herpetic anterior uveitis from other uveitis types. This stu...
purpose: to analyze the clinical patterns and etiologies of uveitis in isfahan. methods: the records of 2016 patients with uveitis who had been referred to the feiz tertiary eye care center, isfahan, between 1999 and 2013 were classified and analyzed with respect to demographic, clinical, anatomical, and etiological characteristics. results: at the onset of uveitis, the mean patient age was 33....
PURPOSE To assess the effects of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) therapy on T helper cell activation status, using CD69 expression and cytokine profile with flow cytometry in relation to clinical activity in uveitis. METHODS Patients with posterior or intermediate uveitis treated with MMF (n = 10), patients with active uveitis not treated with MMF and receiving no or minimal therapy (n = 10), and...
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to study the aqueous cytokine and chemokine composition in patients with uveitis associated with tuberculosis (TAU). METHODS We present a prospective case series of consecutive new patients with active uveitis presenting at a single tertiary center (January 1, 2008-January 1, 2010). Patients with no ocular pathology other than cataracts were enrolled as non-i...
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine levels of IL-2, -4, -5, -10, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma in aqueous humor (AH) from patients with active panuveitis, anterior uveitis (AU), and noninflammatory controls by using a flow cytometric mutiplex array (CBA) and to compare with results from ELISA. METHODS Pooled normal AH was spiked with six cytokines at decreasing concentrations for ev...
The diagnosis of ocular sarcoid is presumptive in the absence of systemic disease. The association of elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels with active systemic sarcoid has been well described. With a sensitive fluorimetric assay for ACE, we found that five of ten chronic granulomatous uveitis patients without systemic sarcoid had elevated serum ACE levels. None of ten patie...
Background: Idiopathic anterior uveitis is an anterior segment inflammation in which a detailed medical history, general and ocular physical examination is not associated with any defined clinical syndrome. Alterations in immune system parameters have been reported in patients with idiopathic posterior uveitis; however no data on the role of immune system in idiopathic anterior uveitis has yet ...
BACKGROUND To document the characteristics of syphilitic patients who present with ocular uveitis clinically and are diagnosed by an ophthalmologist first. METHODS Retrospective chart review of uveitis patients in the department of ophthalmology between 1992 and 2004 was done. We included only those patients with positive serologic tests, active ocular uveitis, and record of detailed examinat...
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...
AIMS To investigate the levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in intraocular fluids of uveitis patients, the capacity of intraocular infiltrating lymphocytes to produce MIF, and the correlation between MIF levels in the eye and intraocular inflammatory activity. METHODS MIF levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using (1) aqueous humour (AH) of 12 u...
