Typical symptoms include tender, red bumps on the skin, shortness of breath and a persistentcough. There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but the condition often improves without treatment within a few months or years.[books.google.de]
External findings Examine the patient for enlarged lacrimal glands and parotid glands and seventh cranial nerve palsy, as this may suggest sarcoidosis. Conjunctiva Generalized redness of the bulbar conjunctiva may be present.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Clinical Signs of Anterior Uveitis CiliaryInjection In iritis or iridocyclitis the enlargement of episcleral vessels around the limbus is seen in dark red color.[touchophthalmology.com]
Acute anterior uveitis is accompanied by pain, photophobia and lacrimation and some loss of vision because of exudation of cells (aqueous flare), protein-rich fluid and fibrin into either the anterior chamber or vitreous body, as well as ciliaryinjection[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Right eye shows ciliaryinjection with irregular pupil, compared to normal left eye. Ocular involvement is common in rheumatologic disease and varies among different diagnoses.[the-rheumatologist.org]
Carefully examine the patient for small conjunctivalnodules that, if sampled during biopsy, may help in determining the underlying cause of the iritis.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Procedures Biopsy of any conjunctivalnodules or the lacrimal gland may help in diagnosing sarcoidosis.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Cornealedema, occlusion of the pupillary area with a dense fibrin clot, opacities in the anterior vitreous, ciliary spasm, macular edema, and secondary cataract can cause blurred vision in anterior uveitis.[touchophthalmology.com]
Workup Laboratory Studies Findings from the physical examination, a comprehensive review of the patient's medical history, and the review of systems should guide the laboratory evaluation. The workup should be tailored accordingly.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The basic workup for acute anterior uveitis includes an HLA-B27, syphilis testing, and testing for sarcoid (CXR at least–the utility of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) testing is debated among uveitis specialists as many factors impact the level.[eyewiki.aao.org]
Urinalysis Infectious workup (eg, depending on presentation, toxoplasma, Lyme disease, HIV, VDRL. Laboratory tests on a sample of aqueous or vitreous may be helpful where infection or malignancy is suspected.[patient.info]

Prognosis and recovery time of the patient with ocular uveitis If left untreated, uveitis can cause loss of vision.[hickeysolution.com]
Prognosis The prognosis depends upon the location of the uveitis, on whether it is chronic or acute, and on the promptness of treatment. The prognosis for untreated uveitis is poor.[encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis Some forms of AAU have a tendency to recur.[eyewiki.aao.org]
The prognosis of AAU associated with AS is generally good; each acute attack usually responds to topical corticosteroid drops with or without cycloplegics.[the-rheumatologist.org]
In severe cases of iritis, oral corticosteroids may be added to the treatment regimen (after ruling out the infectious etiology or after under coverage of medication, which treats the infectious etiology).[emedicine.medscape.com]
Increased intraocular pressure at the onset may suggest a viral etiology, particularly in unilateral disease.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Although certain etiologies may be more common in certain parts of the world (eg, TB in endemic areas). Mortality/Morbidity Morbidity may arise from both the iritis and any associated systemic disease if present.[emedicine.medscape.com]
