UVEITIS AFTER THE BNT162b2 mRNA VACCINATION AGAINST SARS-CoV-2 INFECTION: A Possible Association.

Purpose: To describe uveitis cases after the BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective study. Vaccine-related uveitis diagnosis was supported by the classification of the World Health Organization Adverse Drug Terminology and the Naranjo criteria.

Nutritional risk screening of hospitalized children aged < 3 years.

Background: Identification of children at risk of malnutrition is not easily achieved in hospital settings.

Aims: To assess the merits of using the Screening Tool for Risk on Nutritional status and Growth (STRONG) as a nutrition screening tool in hospitalized children aged < 3 years and correlate it with the severity of their nutritional derangements.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 children aged < 3 years admitted to the Children's Hospital, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.

Behçet's disease in Japan and in Great Britain: a comparative study.

Behçet's disease (BD) is an important cause of visual morbidity throughout the world, but shows striking differences in racial predilection. Despite important advances in the therapeutic management of acute intraocular inflammation, the long-term impact of these new strategies on visual outcome of BD and their efficacy in different ethnic groups is unknown. A comparative study of patient characteristics, clinical ocular features and inflammatory score, and current therapy was undertaken on all patients fulfilling the International Study Group criteria for Behçet's disease and the Behçet's Disease Research Committee of Japan, who attended the Uveitis Clinics of Moorfields Eye Hospital (n=19) and Kurume University School of Medicine (KUS) (n=35) during a continuous consecutive four-week period.

Long-term follow-up of trabeculectomy with intraoperative 5-fluorouracil for uveitis-related glaucoma.

Purpose: To determine the effect of intraoperative application of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the long-term outcome of trabeculectomy in uveitis-related glaucoma.

Design: An open, prospective, noncomparative case study to evaluate the use of intraoperative application for 5 minutes of 25 mg/ml 5-FU in primary trabeculectomy for uveitis-related glaucoma.

Participants: Fifty eyes of 43 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study.

Increased CD4+ expression and decreased IL-10 in the anterior chamber in idiopathic uveitis.

Purpose: To compare cell types and cytokines in aqueous humor from patients with uveitis either occurring in association with a systemic disease or apparently isolated and not associated with a systemic disease.

Methods: Cells were collected by centrifugation of fresh aqueous humor from uveitis and controls, and immunofluorescence techniques were performed with markers for T cells, B cells, and monocytes. Cytokines were measured in the aqueous supernatants, and serum samples were assayed for soluble interleukin-2 receptors.
