“…242 Uveitis generally has an equal gender distribution, 242 with a slight female predominance in some studies. 55,131,150,153 Uveitis can occur at any age, but the mean age of incidence is between 30 to 40 years in most studies. 12,55,131,150,153,188,248 About 60%–80% of uveitis occurs between the ages of 20 to 50 years.…”

“…The prevalence of anterior uveitis, panuveitis, posterior uveitis, and intermediate uveitis is reported to be 24.5%–52.3%, 11.8%–52.9%, 7.1%–46.0%, and 6.3%–19.3%, respectively, in several studies. 12,55,131, 150,153,188,248 The causes of posterior uveitis can be infectious (bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic), noninfectious (autoimmune or associated with a systemic disease), or part of a masquerade syndrome. 53 A significant proportion of the cases of posterior uveitis are infectious (Table 1).…”

The causes of posterior uveitis can be divided into infectious, autoimmune, or masquerade syndromes. Viral infections, a significant cause of sight-threatening ocular diseases in the posterior segment, include human herpesviruses, measles, rubella, and arboviruses such as dengue, West Nile, and chikungunya virus. Viral posterior uveitis may occur as an isolated ocular disease in congenital or acquired infections or as part of a systemic viral illness. Many viruses remain latent in the infected host with a risk of reactivation that depends on various factors, including virulence and host immunity, age, and comorbidities. Although some viral illnesses are self-limiting and have a good visual prognosis, others, such as cytomegalovirus retinitis or acute retinal necrosis, may result in serious complications and profound vision loss. Since some of these infections may respond well to antiviral therapy, it is important to work up all cases of posterior uveitis to rule out an infectious etiology. We review the clinical features, diagnostic tools, treatment regimens, and long-term outcomes for each of these viral posterior uveitides.

“…Например, в Индии преобладают увеиты инфекционной этиологии, в частности, туберкулезный увеит составляет 10 %. В Саудовской Аравии инфекционная этиология была установлена уже в меньшем проценте случаев (20,3 %), при этом увеит предположительно туберкулезной этиологии был выявлен в 52 %, герпетической этиологии -в 26 %, токсоплазмоз -у 16 % больных [9].…”

Background. According to the data in national literature, uveitis comprises 515% among all eye diseases. The etiological data on uveitis are still under discussion. Our aim was to decrease the percent of undefined uveitis. Methods. The first part was to collect the retrospective data on uveitis etiology (20082012). The second one consisted of examining all new patients seen in our uveitis center at the Department of Ophthalmology of the Academician I.P. Pavlov First State Medical University (20142016) with up to date methods, like laser photometry, dual angiography and other laboratory and instrumental investigational tests. Results. The percent of unknown etiology was decreased from 61,9 % to 17 %. Conclusion. The complex of modern investigational ophthalmological, laboratory and instrumental methods give the opportunity not only to diminish the proportion of undefined uveitis, but also to treat patients with more specific entities.
