Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and tolerance of systemic treatments for the prevention of HLA-B27-associated acute uveitis (AU) recurrence.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with HLA-B27-associated uveitis followed in our tertiary center over a 15-year period. Systemic treatments were prescribed to patients with frequent (more than 2 flares per year) or severe uveitis, according to a step-up strategy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of a standardized approach versus an open approach for diagnosing uveitis.
- A total of 903 uveitis patients were analyzed, with the standardized strategy costing an average of 182.97 euros per patient, significantly lower than the 251.75 euros for the open strategy.
- The standardized method resulted in fewer patient visits, radiological procedures, and laboratory tests, making it a more efficient and economical option for diagnosing uveitis.

Purpose: To describe the characteristics of de novo uveitis in patients ≥ 60 years old.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with uveitis followed in our tertiary center over a 14-year period. Patients aged 60-70 years and patients aged > 70 years were compared.
Aim: To assess the usefulness of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and the predictive factors for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in patients with uveitis who have normal thoracic tomography.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 67 consecutive patients with uveitis of unknown aetiology or a suspected sarcoidosis. All patients with normal thoracic tomography underwent an F-FDG PET/CT, which was blindly reinterpreted.
