Behcet's Disease with Uveitis in Taiwan

Abstract

Visual outcome is poorer in males than in females and has improved in the recent decade, but still a significant proportion of patients lose their vision quickly. The number of new patients has not decreased.

Behçet Uveitis in the American Midwest

“…In studies from different parts of the world, panuveitis was reported as the most frequent ocular manifestation in patients with Behçet uveitis. 17,20,23,24 In our patients, the commonest manifestation was retinal vasculitis associated with anterior uveitis and then panuveitis. One-fifth of our patients manifested hypopyon formation at some point in their follow-up.…”

“…Studies in the literature reported similar rates of expression of HLA-B51 antigen in Behçet uveitis with consistency across populations from NSR and SR countries. [14][15][16][17][18] Overall, the two patient populations showed similar demographic features. In both subgroups, the majority of patients was male and had bilateral disease.…”

“…These demographic characteristics were consistent with those from other reports of patients with Behçet uveitis. [17][18][19][20][21][22] The ocular presentation of patients with Behçet uveitis was similar between the two subgroups of patients. In studies from different parts of the world, panuveitis was reported as the most frequent ocular manifestation in patients with Behçet uveitis.…”

Noninfectious uveitis in the Asia–Pacific region

“…1). The disease can be highly threatening to vision because final visual acuity can be worse than 20/200 in 19-28% of patients [60,61]. The main causes of visual impairment in these patients were macular scar, optic nerve atrophy, and phthisis bulbi after multiple recurrences.…”

Caractéristiques de la maladie de Behçet avec atteinte oculaire en Tunisie : étude monocentrique et revue de la littérature

“…Il existe cependant une préférence pour certains tissus et organes. Parmi les différentes atteintes de la MB, l'atteinte cutanéo-muqueuse est celle qui s'associe le plus souvent à l'atteinte oculaire (14,15,16). Dans notre étude le taux de cécité était de 18,2 %.…”
