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]

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]

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]

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]
