Abstract

Purpose: To identify the distribution and characteristics of new referrals with UVEITIS to a tertiary eye care center in Tehran.Method: A 2 year prospective study was carried out, getting information from a survey applied to patients who had been referred with UVEITIS by other ophthalmologists. Results: Five hundred forty-four patients were referred (mean age 32.3 years). The most common forms of UVEITIS were anterior UVEITIS versus other anatomical forms, chronic vs acute, nongranulomatous vs granulomatous, noninfectious vs infectious. Of the cases, 45.5% were idiopathic, 19.9% had specific ocular disease, and 37.3% had systemic disease associations. Behcets disease was the most common noninfectious condition and toxoplasmosis was the most common infectious entity. The most prevalent causes were: in anterior UVEITIS; idiopathic and Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis, in posterior UVEITIS; toxoplasmosis, Eales, and toxocariasis, in intermediate UVEITIS; idiopathic, sarcoidosis, and multiple sclerosis, and in panUVEITIS; Behcet, idiopathic, and Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome. The most frequent cause under 16 years was pars planitis. Half of the patients had intermediate socioeconomic status. UVEITIS seriously affected daily activity of 57.3% of patients. Conclusion: Referral pattern of UVEITIS may be influenced by geographical, environmental, genetic, and ethnic factors as well as use of advanced diagnostic techniques and employed diagnostic criteria. This study disclosed entities such as cytomegalovirus retinitis and bird shot chorioretinopathy are extremely rare; HLA-B27 associated iridocyclitis is less common. In contrast, Behcets disease, Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis, Eales disease, and toxocariasis were more prevalent entities.
