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 ...

purpose: to evaluate the role of anxiety in idiopathic acute anterior uveitis. methods: in this case-control study, three groups including 30 patients with uveitis, 30 patients with conjunctivitis, and 30 healthy controls were enrolled for estimating the anxiety level by employing zung anxiety assessment and a structured clinical interview. t test and chi square test were used for statistical a...

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...

Few reports have described hyphema in association with anterior uveitis. Five cases of anterior chamber haemorrhage are reported in patients with five different anterior uveitic entities: Reiter's syndrome, juvenile chronic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, idiopathic anterior uveitis, and herpes simplex. Hyphema has been reported in association with idiopathic non-granulomatous anterior uveit...

BACKGROUND The association of human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) with anterior uveitis is well known. The prevalence of HLA-B27 and its relation to anterior uveitis is related to race and geographic location. The association is strongest in Western countries and weakest in Eastern countries. Data regarding this association from Middle Eastern countries are limited. Thus, we undertook the stu...
