Panuveitis

Total Uveitis

At the last visit, both patients presented a quiet uveitis and stable BCVA: case 1 had 0.8 and 1.0 in the RE and the LE, respectively, while case 2 presented 1.0 in both eyes. No side effects were recorded during this time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy

    Chest Imaging showed mediastinal lymphadenopathy and diffuse bilateral reticulonodular interstitial infiltrates (Figure 2). Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) showed restriction with severely reduced diffusion capacity (DLCO). [aspergillus.org.uk]

  • Fever of Unknown Origin

    A 35-year-old male with no prior ophthalmic history presented with headaches, altered mental status, and fever of unknown origin. [hindawi.com]

  • Constitutional Symptom

    It can present in an otherwise asymptomatic patient without any constitutional symptoms. Careful examination, prompt diagnosis, and early treatment can reduce ocular morbidity. [tandfonline.com]

  • Recurrent Oral Ulceration

    He gave a history of recurrent oral ulcers. The panuveitis responded to oral and topical steroids but recurred after the steroids were stopped. His ocular condition again stabilised on restarting oral steroids and azathioprine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The International Study Group for Behçet’s Disease2 has proposed the following criteria for diagnosis: recurrent oral ulceration plus two from the following list—recurrent genital ulcerations, eye lesions, skin lesions or a positive pathergy (or Behçetine [aao.org]

  • Roth's Spots

  • Negativism

    The patient was readmitted and treated with intravenous crystalline penicillin, 18 million units per day, with rapid improvement of fundoscopic aspect of the right eye and negativation of liquor VDRL after 14 days, but maintained vision loss. [scielo.br]

Systemic workup also revealed a new diagnosis of HIV, after which he was started on highly active antiretroviral therapy. Four months after presentation, the vitritis and retinitis were completely resolved. [aao.org]

Short course of oral prednisone was initiated once the infectious workup returned negative. Within 4-weeks, he had complete resolution of eye symptoms, with improvement of vision and ophthalmologic examination. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Diagnosis, Workup, Treatment This panuveitis involved a broad differential diagnosis and collection of autoimmune and infectious serologies (Box, page 17). [retina-specialist.com]

  • Wuchereria Bancrofti

    Purpose: To report a case of ocular filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti manifesting as panuveitis. Design/methods: Observational case report. [tandfonline.com]

The mainstay of the treatment of uveitis is corticosteroids. Immunosuppressive agents are administered if the inflammation is not adequately controlled with corticosteroids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

or in whom corticosteroid treatment is inappropriate. [centerwatch.com]

The long-term outcomes and prognosis of this condition are not well known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, typically the prognosis is guarded due to the entire eye being affected. The condition can lead to permanent blindness if early diagnosis and treatment is not provided Complications, such as glaucoma and cataract, can worsen the prognosis. [dovemed.com]

Disease course and prognosis Unfortunately, recurrence is very high in MCP, and the visual prognosis remains poor. Peripapillary atrophy with progressive subretinal fibrosis results in enlargement of a blind spot in approximately 43% of patients. [imoe.it]

This could be due to better control of systemic and infectious etiologies, leading to decreased accompanying ocular complications. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

More patients with bilateral disease had a non-infectious etiology (n 82, 50.9%) (p 0.012). [tandfonline.com]
