Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key factors affecting relapse risk in noninfectious uveitis patients after tapering off adalimumab following remission.
- Involving 328 patients, the research found a 39.6% relapse rate, with younger patients showing a significantly higher risk and a quicker taper increasing the likelihood of recurrence.
- Recommendations suggest considering age, race, and duration of remission when tapering adalimumab, with a slower tapering schedule preferred to minimize relapse chances.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of short-term, high-dose chlorambucil therapy in achieving long-term, drug-free remission in the treatment of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO).
Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: Sixteen patients with SO treated with high-dose, short-term chlorambucil therapy between 1970 and 2010.
Purpose: To describe the means of diagnosis and clinical features of atypical toxoplasmic chorioretinitis mimicking acute retinal necrosis.
Design: Observational case series.
Participants: Twenty-two patients (25 eyes) with widespread chorioretinitis resulting from toxoplasmosis examined between 1990 and 2001.
