A case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia complicated by anterior uveitis is described. Anterior uveitis as a complication has not been reported before. Its possible mechanism is discussed.

BACKGROUND Anterior uveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS-related anterior uveitis frequently presents as acute, recurrent iridocyclitis; therefore, AS is often initially suspected by an ophthalmologist, not by a rheumatologist. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the recurrence of anterior uveitis and the subsequ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of anterior uveitis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who underwent anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy, using data from recently performed trials. METHODS Data from 4 placebo-controlled studies with anti-TNF agents in AS (2 with etanercept and 2 with infliximab) and 3 open-label studies were analyzed for the prestudy prevalence and the...

Methods Serum samples were collected from patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIAU, n = 97), idiopathic anterior uveitis (IAU, n = 26), idiopathic intermediate uveitis (IIU, n = 36), anterior herpes uveitis (n = 3), and healthy controls (n = 10). In 29 patients, aqueous humor was available for analysis. S100 levels were measured by ELISA and were correlated with dise...

MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred fifty-nine patients with HLAB27 acute anterior uveitis, 85 patients with intermediate uveitis, 138 HLAB27 ...
