: To describe drug-induced uveitis in immunocompromised patients diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection : Narrative Review : Systemic and intraocular medications administered for the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated diseases in patients infected with HIV are a well-known cause of uveitis. : Cidofovir and rifabutin, among other novel anti-retroviral therapies, are strongly associated with drug-induced uveitis. It is imperative to understand the pathogenesis, clinical findings, and management of HIV patients with uveitis induced by these agents.

The aim of this review is to provide an update on both the differential diagnosis of intermediate uveitis (IU) and the special investigations that may be required to determine the underlying etiology of this condition. The authors describe how they identified the relevant publications included in this review and then proceed to outline the possible causes of IU by classifying them into the following categories: Idiopathic, infectious, systemic, genetic/hereditary, drug-induced and masquerades. Thereafter, the special investigations relevant to each cause are discussed individually.

Proper hydration and the clarity of the cornea are maintained through the crucial function of the corneal endothelium. Inflammation of the corneal endothelium, known as endotheliitis, can disrupt endothelial function, resulting in alterations to vision. Corneal endotheliitis is characterised by corneal oedema, the presence of keratic precipitates, inflammation within the anterior chamber, and occasionally, limbal injection, neovascularisation, and the concurrent or overlapping presence of uveitis.
