Identification of an infectious cause in intraocular inflammation is of crucial importance since their treatment and prognosis differ from non-infectious aetiologies. Herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses are well known causes of anterior uveitis. Furthermore, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and rubella virus (RV) are also detected in a significant number of patients. Despite their different aetiol...

PURPOSE To study uveitis prevalence in the local population with spondyloarthritis and its temporal relationship with joint complaints. METHODS We reviewed seventy-seven charts of spondyloarthropathy patients from the rheumatology clinic of the "Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba" for spondyloarthritis class, patients' sex and age, occurrence of uveitis and its location and relatio...

PURPOSE To assess foveal thickness by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) during acute anterior uveitis (AAU) in HLA-B27 patients. METHODS Foveal thickness was measured at baseline and after clinical resolution of the uveitis. Data of the affected eyes of 11 patients were compared to those of a fellow, healthy eyes and to those of counterpart volunteers. RESULTS At baselin...

Material and Methods Surface temperature was measured with a bolometer; the method of use and precautions to be taken are described in a previous paper (Mapstone, 1968a). A series of 53 unselected patients with unilateral acute anterior uveitis was investigated, temperatures being measured over four areas on each side of the median plane: cornea, medial forehead skin, lateral forehead skin, low...

Purpose To report two new cases of presumed erlotinib-associated bilateral acute simultaneous-onset anterior uveitis effectively treated with topical steroids. Observations Two patients were referred to the uveitis clinic with bilateral acute simultaneous onset, anterior uveitis six weeks after starting the chemotherapeutic agent erlotinib. Frequent topical steroid were started and the inflam...
