| Summary: | Uveitis, being an important cause of ocular morbidity, must be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis and the management of
patients with red eye. Uveitis entities can demonstrate variable clinical features. Patients presenting with uveitis must undergo careful systemic
evaluation for exact diagnosis and treatment. Studies for standardization of uveitis with variable clinical pictures are emerging. Acute anterior
uveitis and panuveitis can cause red eye. The purpose of this current study is to summarize the clinical features and laboratory investigations
that could help the differential diagnosis of acute anterior uveitis and panuveitis cases. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: Supplement 57-62 |
