this may be more common in viral anterior uveitis ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS Conjunctiva: - typically perilimbal injection termed ciliary flush - less commonly, generalized redness of the bulbar conjunctiva - not found in Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis or the anterior uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS Cornea Keratic precipitates (KPs) may be present - clusters of lymphocytes, polymorphs on the endothelium - in nongranulomatous iritis, they tend to be small - in granulomatous medium and large size called "mutton fat"  ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS Anterior chamber: Flare, cells, and/or hypopyon may be present  hypopyon AQUEUS HUMOR  Cells – inidicate disease activity cells degree 0-5 0 6-15 1 16-25 2 26-50 3 > 50 4  Flare - protein in the aqueous due to breakdown of the bloodaqueous barrier flare degree none 0 faint 1 moderate (iris and lens detail clear) 2 marked (iris and lens detail hazy) 3 intense (fibrin or plastic aqueous ) 4 ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS Iris     posterior synechiae may be present inflammatory nodules are usually present in granulomatous iritis sector atrophy heterochromia and loss of iris stromal detail are suggestive of Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis CHRONIC ANTERIOR UVEITIS     presents as recurrent episodes, with minimal acute symptoms may be granulomatous or non- granulomatous less common symptoms:  many patiens – asymptomatic until development of complications CHRONIC ANTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS Conjunctiva – eye – usualy white  Aqueous cell – vary  Aqueous flare – severity may act as an indicator of activity  Keratic precipitates  Iris nodules – typically in granulomatous uveitis - Koeppe, Busacca nodules  INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS    - chronic, relapsing disease vitreus is the major site of the inflamation idiopatic or assocciated with a systemic disease: Multiple sclerosis Sarcoidosis Lyme disease INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS   - Symptoms: blurred vision, usualy unilateral, but condition is usualy bilateral often asymetrical Signs: Anterior uveitis – mild or severe Vitreous – cells, condensation, ´snowballs´ Posterior segment – peripheral periphlebitis, ´snowbanking´ – greywhite fibrovascular plaque POSTERIOR UVEITIS Symptoms : vary – location of the inflammatory focus  - patient with peripheral lesion – floaters - patient with a lesion in macula – impaired central vision  POSTERIOR UVEITIS CLINICAL SIGNS    Retinitis – focal or multifocal, active lesions – whitish retinal opacities with indistinct borders, as the lesions resolves, the borders become better defined Choroiditis – focal, multifocal, geographic, active –yellow nodule Vasculitis – primary or secondary to retinitis DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION METHODS  - -    Laboratory testing Blood count, differential blood count, liver enzymes, kidney function parameters ( urea, creatinin ) Antibody tests – serology – syphilis, borellia, toxoplasmosis, toxocara, HSV, HZV, HIV, Autoantibodies – ANA, ANCA, anticardiolipin antibodies, rheumatoid factor HLA testing      FA, OCT Radiological investigation ( chest X-ray, X-ray of the sacroiliac joint) Skin test – tuberculin test Histopathology – biopsy – skin, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland, aqueous samples for PCR, vitreous biopsy Other – USG abdomen, MRI – SM,..
