Abstract
Uveitis are a large group of inflammatory diseases involving the iris, the ciliary body and the uvea. Multiple causes can be responsible for ocular inflammation that can result either from infectious or autoimmune disease. The incidence varies from 14 to 28/100,000 habitants. According to the anatomical classification, about 30-60% (average 47%) are related to anterior uveitis. 6-30% average 21%) are posterior uveitis, 7-15% (average 12%) are intermediate uveitis and 7-69% (average 20%) are panuveitis. A specific diagnostic can be established in more than 70% in most series. The most frequently diagnosed entities are HLA-B27 related uveitis, acute anterior uveitis in herpes zoster disease, toxoplasmosis, sarcoidosis and pars planitis.
