Introduction: Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) has been previously reported to cause rare occurrence of mostly epithelial and nummular keratitis. We hereby report two patients developing bilateral peripheral deep interstitial keratitis following EBV-related infectious mononucleosis (IM).
Description Of Cases: Two female adolescents presented with findings of chronic relapsing posterior interstitial keratitis with neovascularisation mostly located in the superior and inferior peripheral cornea, in absence of signs of anterior uveitis.
Purpose: To assess the ability of swept-source (SS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment (AS) to measure anterior chamber (AC) inflammation (both flare and cells) objectively. To compare OCT-derived inflammatory indices with standard techniques.
Design: Prospective evaluation of a diagnostic test.
Purpose: Macular edema is the leading cause of vision loss in bilateral chronic noninfectious posterior uveitis, and is currently being treated using corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, and biotherapies. The aim of this trial was to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of corticosteroids and interferon-α (IFN-α) in adults with such conditions.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Purpose: The role of uveitis, an uncommon ocular disease, is often neglected in research and treatment of autoimmune conditions. The study described the spectrum of uveitis at a referral center in North Italy, and compared that to a previously published series of patients.
Methods: We reviewed all patients with uveitis diagnosed from 2013 to 2015 at the Immunology Eye Unit, Arcispedale S.
