Abstract

In order to determine the distribution of epidemiological, diagnostic and aetiological categories of uveitis at the Harran University Eye Clinic, 248 patients with uveitis diagnosed and treated between the years 1995 - 2000 were reviewed. The data of 248 consecutive uveitis patients who admitted the eye clinic were analyzed to determine medical history, clinical findings, laboratory tests performed, and specific diagnoses obtained. All the patients were the Turks of Asian, Arabic or Mediterranean origin from southeastern region of Turkey; 91 (36.69 %) were female and 157 (63.31 %) male. Probable aetiological diagnosis was made in 181 cases (72.98 %). The most common diagnosis among 248 patients was toxoplasmosis (104 patients [41.94 %]), followed by idiopathic anterior uveitis, Behçet's disease, ankylosing spondylitis. Categorizing diagnoses of all patients by anatomic location posterior uveitis was most frequent, followed by anterior uveitis and panuveitis. Ocular toxoplasmosis was most frequent cause of uveitis, thus requiring a prompt diagnosis and treatment. The high frequency of rheumatic diseases may be related to our Asian and Mediterranean population base. It was concluded that geographic location, alimentary, environmental and genetic factors are important in determining the types of uveitis, which occurs in Southeast of Turkey.

Özet

Harran Üniversitesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı'nda 1995-2000 arasında tanı ve tedavisi gerçekleştirilen 248 üveit olgusunda epidemiolojik, tanısal ve etiolojik kategorilerin saptanması amacıyla kliniğimize başvurmuş olan 248 üveitli olgu medikal hikaye, klinik bulgular, laboratuar test sonuçlarının saptanması için araştırılmış ve özel hastalık tanıları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Olgular Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde ve asya, arap kökenli yada akdeniz kökenli olup, 91 (%36.69) i kadın ve 157 (%63.31) si erkek idi. Olguların 181 (%72.98) inde muhtemel etiolojik tanı gerçekleştirilmiştir. 248 olgu içinde en sık tanı 104 olgu (%41.94) ile toksoplasmozis olup, bunu idiopatik ön üveitler, Behçet Hastalığı ve ankilozan spondilit izlemiştir. Anatomik tutulum yerine göre tanılar sınıflandığında arka üveitlerin en sık olup, bunu ön üveitler ve panüveitler izlemiştir. Bölgemizde hızlı bir şekilde tanısı konup, tedavisinin gerçekleştirilmesi gereken oküler toksoplazmozis üveitin en sık nedeni olarak görülmektedir. Romatizmal hastalıkların yüksek sıklığı bölgemizdeki asya ve akdeniz kökenli populasyon özelliği ile ilgili olabilir. Ülkemizin güneydoğusunda coğrafi yerleşim, beslenme, çevresel ve genetik faktörlerin üveit tiplerinde önemli belirleyiciler olduğu sonucuna varılabilir.
