Clinical Features and Prognosis of Herpetic Anterior Uveitis
Abstract
To evaluate clinical features, complications, visual outcomes and treatment modalities in patients clinically diagnosed with herpetic anterior uveitis (AU).We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 67 patients seen at the Umraniye Training and Research Hospital, Ophthalmology Clinic, Uveitis and Cornea Department from January 2009 to June 2013.Thirty-seven patients (55.2%) were female and 30 (44.7%) patients were male. The average...

Uveitis, a complex intraocular inflammatory disease results from several etiological entities. Causes of uveitis are known to vary in different populations depending upon the ecological, racial and socioeconomic variations of the population studied. Tropical countries are unique in their climate, prevailing pathogens and in the existing diseases, which further influence the epidemiological and geographical distribution of specific entities. We provide an overview of the pattern of uveitis of 152...

Abstract
Purpose
To characterize the polyspecific intraocular antibody synthesis in aqueous humor of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the eye and to detect the causative antigen in Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis (FHC).Design
Retrospective case-control study.Methods
Intraocular antibody synthesis is detected in aqueous humor with the Antibody Index [AI] (improved Goldmann-Witmer Index) and quantified as specific antibody fraction, Fs (in...Review paper

Purpose To review the classification of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis and anterior uveitis using the available clinical, pathologic, and laboratory models of disease. Methods The literature was reviewed to establish prior classifications of herpes simplex keratitis and uveitis. The author introduces a classification attempting to encompass all patients with this disease process, taking into account the newer proposed mechanisms of disease. Results A classification of HSV keratitis and uve...

The clinical description of Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis was made in 1906. The subject was first reviewed in 1973. This paper discusses contributions to the literature on Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis since 1973. The widening diagnostic criteria are discussed, as are new theories on etiology and pathogenesis. Investigative methods include light and electron microscopy, fluorescein angiography and immunology are described. Management problems, particularly relating to cataract and glaucoma, are di...

Aim: To describe the diagnostic and therapeutic management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis unassociated with retinal necrosis in immunocompetent patients. Methods: Patients referred between 2001 and 2003 for management of unilateral, chronic, recurrent uveitis associated with secondary glaucoma underwent extensive investigation including laboratory tests for herpes virus infections. Specific antiviral treatment was initiated in all cases and the level of ocular inflammati...
