Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the etiologic factors and clinical findings of patients with anterior uveitis. METHOD: Patients with anterior uveitis who were admitted and followed in the Uvea-immunology department of our clinic between January 1987 and December 2001 were included in this study. All their medical history was obtained and their ophthalmological and systemic examinations were performed in detail. Laboratory research necessary for the diagnosis of anterior uveitis was performed. RESULTS: When anterior uveitis, except for Behçet's disease, was evaluated according to the etiological factors, Fuch's heterochromic uveitis was found to be the most common of all (10,74%), which was followed by seronegative spondylartropathies (10,07%) and uveitis with HLA-B27 followed the latter (7,38%). No etiological factor could be found in 93 patients (62,42%). When anterior segment examination findings were evaluated, tyndal was found to be the most common (66.45%) and the second was keratic precipitates (60.75%). CONCLUSION: Uveitis is mostly associated with ocular complications and requires more detailed clinical and laboratory examinations, although the etiological factor can not be found in some groups.

Özet

AMAÇ: Ön üveit tanısıyla takip ettiğimiz hastalarda etyolojik ve klinik özelliklerin incelenmesi. YÖNTEM: Kliniğimiz Üvea-immunoloji biriminde Ocak 1987-Aralık 2001 tarihleri arasında takibe alınmış olan tüm ön üveitli hastaların hikayeleri alınıp, bütün sistemik ve göz muayeneleri ile ön üveite yönelik gerekli laboratuar çalışmaları yapıldı. BULGULAR: Behçet hastalığı hariç tüm ön üveit hastaları etyolojik açıdan incelendiklerinde en sık görülen grubun Fuch's heterokromik üveiti (%10,74), ikinci sıklıkta ise seronegatif spondiloartropatiler (%10,07) ve daha sonra HLA-B27 pozitif üveitler (%7,38) olduğu görüldü. Doksan üç hastada (%62,42) ise etyolojik bir neden bulunamadı. Hastalarda ön segment bulguları açısından 105 hastada (%66,45) ön kamara reaksiyonu en sık bulgu olarak karşımıza çıkarken keratik presipitatlar 96 hastada (%60,75) ikinci sıklıkta görüldü. TARTIŞMA: Üveit çoğunlukla etyolojik açıdan ileri tetkiklerin yapılmasını gerektiren, bununla beraber sıklıkla bir nedenin bulunamadığı, göz komplikasyonlannın sık görüldüğü bir grup hastalıktır.
