  In multibacillary forms the eye is invaded by the bacillus through the bloodstream resulting in bilateral involvement with the formation of conjunctival nodules and, subsequently, impairment of the cornea and uvea. [proceedings.blucher.com.br]

• Microcytic Anemia

  The previously collected complete blood count with differential was normal except for a mild microcytic anemia (later worked up and thought to be due to menorrhagia). [retina-specialist.com]

  The CBC was remarkable for a profound microcytic anemia with otherwise normal differentials. The BUN was slightly high. The ACE was high at 66 IU/liter (normal 8 to 52 IU/L). All of the other lab values were within normal limits or negative. [aao.org]

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]

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]

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

Vision prognosis is often poor, even with early and appropriate treatment. Patients whose vision at presentation is count-fingers or worse should be considered for vitrectomy and use of intraocular corticosteroids. [merckmanuals.com]
