Introduction: Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhages (AH) are a rare condition with no consensus about their management.
Methods: Patients were identified using the Medicalization of the Information System Program database, imaging software and a call for observations to internists, intensivists and obsetricians working at our institution. Adult patients whose medical records were complete and whose diagnosis was confirmed by medical imaging were included.
Objective: To determine the ophthalmological and extra-ophthalmological clinical characteristics and visual prognosis of patients with sarcoid uveitis in different ethnic groups.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed the data from patients with sarcoid uveitis seen at two departments of Ophthalmology between December 2003 and December 2017. Patients presented biopsy-proven sarcoidosis and/or presumed sarcoid uveitis based on the following criteria: compatible thoracic imaging, associated with elevated angiotensin-conversion enzyme (ACE) and/or lymphocytic alveolitis on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis (> 15% lymphocytes and CD4/CD8 > 3.
Background: Clinical presentation of Lyme-associated uveitis is poorly described. We reported here a case series of seven patients with uveitis related to Lyme disease and a review of the literature.
Methods: A retrospective study in our university hospital between 1 May 2003 and 31 July 2016 on 1006 uveitis patients and review of Pubmed library.
Background: Uveitis is a frequent and early feature of sarcoidosis. As BTNL2 (butyrophilin-like 2) gene polymorphism was found linked with the susceptibility to sarcoidosis, we investigated whether a specific genotype of BTNL2 gene G16071A (or rs2076530) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) would be associated with the risk of sarcoid uveitis in all patient subgroups.
Methods: The study compared the genotype frequencies of SNP G16071A of 135 patients with sarcoid uveitis (SaUv) with those of 196 patients with sarcoidosis without uveitis (SaUv), 81 patients with uveitis without sarcoidosis (SaUv), and 271 controls with no sarcoidosis nor uveitis (SaUv).
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.
