Pattern of Uveitis in a University-based Referral Center in Southern Thailand

Abstract

In this setting, the authors found VKH to be the most common diagnosis in the noninfectious uveitis group. Regarding infectious uveitis, toxoplasmosis ranked the most common diagnosis.

Pattern of Acute Retinal Necrosis in a Referral Center in Tunisia, North Africa

“…In spite of anatomical success, only 1 of these eyes (patient 7) achieved a final VA better than 20/200. The average time from visual symptoms onset to RD was 7.4 weeks (range, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Of 4 eyes with450% of retina affected, 2 retinae (50%) detached.…”

The Manchester Uveitis Clinic: The First 3000 Patients—Epidemiology and Casemix

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The anatomical distributions of uveitis are shown in Table 8, and the relative frequencies of key uveitis diagnoses are shown in Table 9.…”

Statistical analyses of Endogenous Uveitis Patients (2007–2009) in central Tokyo area and Comparison with Previous Studies (1963–2006)

“…In Japan, Behçet disease, sarcoidosis, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) have traditionally been three major causes of uveitis, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] whereas HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis, uveitis due to herpes zoster virus or cytomegalovirus, and ocular toxoplasmosis are major causes of uveitis in the United States and European countries. [12][13][14] On the other hand, Behçet disease, VKH, and ocular toxoplasmosis in Iran, 15 acute anterior uveitis, herpetic iridocyclitis, and ocular tuberculosis in Saudi Arabia, 16 ocular toxoplasmosis and geographic choroiditis in India, 17 and VKH, HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis, Behçet disease, and ocular toxoplasmosis in southern Thailand 18 are major causes of uveitis. Furthermore, in Japan, multicenter epidemiologic surveys of uveitis were recently conducted in 2002 19 and 2009.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Since genetic, geographic, social, and environmental factors greatly affect the distribution of types and etiology of the disease, frequencies of the diseases causing uveitis are quite different in each country and area. In Japan, Behçet disease, sarcoidosis, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) have traditionally been three major causes of uveitis, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] whereas HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis, uveitis due to herpes zoster virus or cytomegalovirus, and ocular toxoplasmosis are major causes of uveitis in the United States and European countries.…”
