“…Since the start of the twentieth century, a number of ocular presentations associated with brucellosis have been reported [14,15]. Nevertheless, there is no data on the incidence of this pathology, because most citations in the literature refer to case reports.…”

“…In 1985, Rolando et al [18] found that 4 (26.7%) of 15 patients presented during the acute phase of the disease, whereas 11 (73.3%) presented during the chronic and undulating phase. Moreover, Green [14], reporting on the work of 23 authors, stated that all ocular compromise appeared during the chronic phase of the systemic disease.…”

“…В 1939 г. J. Green описал характерные для бруцеллеза глазные проявления [27]. Однако бруцеллез как причина увеита фигурировал преимущественно в американских исследованиях, и впоследствии долгое время ученым не удавалось выделить возбудителя из тканей глаза, а диагностика заболевания основывалась на клинической картине и результатах серологических тестов.…”

Evolution of Diagnostic Methods for Infectious and Non-Infectious Uveitis. Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea (iris, ciliary body, choroid) that can spread to the retina, vitreous and other structures of the eye. Non-infectious uveitis accounts for 31.5 to 82.9 % of cases. The prevalence of infectious uveitis ranges from 13.0 to 54.7 %. Verification of the etiological diagnosis of uveitis requires an individual approach in each clinical case and is based on a thorough analysis of the patient’s medical history, the presence of systemic diseases, and physical examination data, which is supplemented by various laboratory and instrumental examination. However, despite the widespread development of modern diagnostic capabilities, the etiology of uveitis remains unknown in 30–50 % of cases after non-invasive studies, and the treatment is prescribed empirically. At the present stage of studying this issue, the search for a pathological agent, that can play both an etiological role in the development of infectious uveitis and a trigger role in the non-infectious process, is still an urgent task. The article presents a review of the literature on the evolution of methods for the diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious uveitis in accordance with changing ideas about the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, epidemiological, geographical and socio-economic factors, improving surgical techniques. Pathogenetic aspects and the role of infections in the development of non-infectious uveitis are discussed.

“…The authors noted that ocular damage occurs mainly in the chronic phase of the disease. Citing the work of Maini et al [15] , who stated that cataracts, glaucoma, and maculopathies have been described as the most common complications of uveitis and are the main causes of different levels of visual loss, they concluded that early diagnosis of ocular manifestations of brucellosis was critically important [16] .…”
