Purpose: To report the pattern of uveitis in a tertiary eye care center in Bangladesh.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of all uveitis cases visiting uveitis clinic of Bangladesh Eye Hospital between January, 2009 and April, 2015.
Results: In total, 652 patients (mean age 32.3 years, female 47.8%) were included in the study. Uveitis was bilateral in 42.6% of cases. Anterior uveitis was the most common (39.2%) case, closely followed by intermediate uveitis (22.2%), posterior uveitis (22%), and panuveitis (16.4%). Specific diagnosis was established in 53.3% of patients. The three most common specific diagnoses were ocular tuberculosis (10.7%), followed by HLA-B27-related uveitis (10.1%) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD; 8.4%).
Conclusion: Ocular tuberculosis remained an important cause of uveitis in Bangladesh while HLA-B27 and VKHD were found to be the most common non-infectious uveitic entity.

Half a Century's Quest for Seasonal Hyperacute Panuveitis (SHAPU): From Academic Curiosity to Public Health Concern.
Ocul Immunol Inflamm
January 2025
B.P. Eye Foundation, Hospital for Children Eye ENT and Rehabilitation Services (CHEERS), Bhaktapur, Nepal.
For the past 50 years, significant progress has been made in understanding Seasonal Hyperacute Panuveitis (SHAPU), a mysterious blinding disease first reported in Nepal in 1975. Predominantly affecting Nepalese children, SHAPU occurs cyclically every odd year from September to December. While initially misclassified as endophthalmitis, SHAPU is set apart by its lack of trauma or surgery, failure to grow organisms in most intraocular fluid cultures, and its hallmark presentation of a "white pupil in red eye" with an association with moth exposure.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Tokyo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: To examine the recurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) iritis in patients using low-dose ganciclovir (GCV) eye drops.
Methods: We included patients with dormant CMV iritis who were treated using 2% GCV eye drops at the University of Tokyo Hospital between January and June 2023 and whose dosage of GCV eye drops was required to be reduced due to the unstable GCV supply. Patients were excluded if they had active CMV retinitis and underwent corneal transplantation.
