Department of Ophthalmology, Kyorin University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate demographic features, diagnoses of uveitis (intraocular inflammation), and real-world clinical practice in the use of local and systemic therapies for patients with uveitis in Tokyo, Japan.
Methods: Clinical records of 1,174 consecutive new patients (480 males, 694 females) referred to the Kyorin Eye Center, Kyorin University Hospital between January 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Mean age at presentation was 52.
Introduction: Nivolumab can cause various immune-related adverse events; it rarely induces Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-disease-like uveitis. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-disease is reported to be closely associated with human leukocyte antigen-DR4.
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with metastatic renal cancer underwent nephrectomy.

Autoimmune uveitis and posterior scleritis are ocular diseases caused by immune dysregulation. Their pathogenesis remains elusive, and delayed diagnosis can exacerbate vision loss. Our study analyzed proteomic profiles of 190 patients with Behcet's disease uveitis, posterior scleritis, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a serious, sight-threatening condition characterized by rapidly progressive necrotizing retinitis, most commonly caused by varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus. We report an atypical case of ARN in a 57-year-old immunocompetent male, initially misdiagnosed as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. This case highlights the challenges in the early differential diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious uveitis.
