“…Results of previous studies showed that VKH disease was more common in Japan and less common in most Western countries. 15,19,35 Ocular toxoplasmosis, Behçet's disease, and VKH disease, three of the four most frequent causes of uveitis in our series, typically present as posterior uveitis or panuveitis. This could explain the high rate of these two forms of uveitis in our patients.…”

“…Numerous studies on pattern of uveitis in various geographic regions from Western countries and Asia have been published, showing similarities and distinct differences in epidemiologic profiles and aetiologies of uveitis. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Data on uveitis from Africa are scarce, 23,24 and there is a lack of studies from the North African region.…”

“…About one-third (31.5%) of anterior uveitis cases were idiopathic, followed by herpetic infections (15.5%), Fuchs' uveitis (11.6%), spondylarthropathies (11.1%), and HLA-B27-associated uveitis (10.9%). The striking result for anterior uveitis in our study is the high proportion of herpetic uveitis and the relatively low frequency of spondylarthropathies, reported as the most common cause of anterior uveitis in different studies (9,22,27,34). In previous epidemiologic studies, the frequency of herpetic uveitis varied between 3.2% and 24.4% (9,10,12,13,23,35,36) and made up 1%-33.7% (8,31) of anterior uveitis cases.…”

A series of (E) -3- (3-(2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-3 H -benzoxazole-6-yl)-1-phenyl-1 H -pyrazole-4-yl)acrylamides (7a-k) were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activities on COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms using a human whole blood assay as well as their antiplatelet profile against human platelet aggregation using arachidonic acid as agonists. Among the synthesized derivatives 7a-k, especially compound 7g exhibited dual anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet activity with selective COX-2 inhibition.

“…This result correlates with other studies where they have reported the cause of uveitis being unknown in approximately 30-60% of patients. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Systemic disease, which could be considered to be related to the intraocular inflammation, was determined in 26.6% of all cases on the basis of history, ocular examination and laboratory investigations. It was similar to the study done by Rothova et al where systemic disease related to intraocular inflammation was diagnosed in 26%.…”

Background: Infectious diseases are very common in Nepal and almost all infections are capable of causing uveitis. Parasitic infestations affect large number of Nepalese population and any parasitic infestation can potentially lead to development of uveitis. Local and systemic viral infections, immunological disorder like autoimmune diseases and malignancies can lead to uveitis. All these emphasize the necessity of proper systemic evaluation and investigation to identify the underlying systemic illness causing uveitis in order to see the pattern of systemic illness and determine the commonest associated systemic disease with uveitis. Methods: A prospective study was conducted at BP Koirala Lions Centre for Ophthalmic Studies from November 2008 to April 2010. All the patients underwent a standard diagnostic protocol when indicated by special tests and procedures performed in order of likelihood. Results: A total of 308 patients with uveitis was seen during the study period. For 146 (47.4%) patients, a specific diagnosis was established based on history, ocular examination and laboratory investigations. A definite association with systemic disease was determined for 82 (26.6%) patients. A well established clinical uveitis entity without a recognizable systemic disorder was present in 64 (20.8%) cases. A diagnosis could not be established in 162 (52.6%) cases. Toxoplasmosis was found to be most frequently associated with uveitis accounting for 5.8 % of the total cases followed by tuberculosis (3.6%), herpes infections (3%), ankylosing spondylitis (2.9%), leprosy (2.3%), sarcoidosis (1.6%) and parasitic infestations (1.3%). Conclusion: The importance of relevant systemic work up in uveitis cases in our set up has been reemphasized by the present study.
