To determine infectious causes in patients with uveitis of unknown origin by intraocular fluids analysis.
Case-control study.
Ocular fluids from 139 patients suspected of infectious uveitis, but negative for herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, and Toxoplasma gondii by polymerase chain reaction and/or antibody analysis in intraocular fluids, were assessed for the presence of 18 viruses and 3 bacteria by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The ocular fluids from 48 patients with uveitis of known etiology or with cataract were included as controls.
Positive PCR results were found for Epstein-Barr virus, for rubella virus, and for human herpesvirus 6 each in 1 patient and for human parechovirus in 4 patients. Of the human parechovirus-positive patients, 1 was immunocompromised and had panuveitis. The other 3 patients were immunocompetent and had anterior uveitis, all with corneal involvement.
Human parechovirus might be associated with infectious (kerato)uveitis.
通过眼内液分析确定原因不明的葡萄膜炎患者的感染病因。
病例对照研究。
对聚合酶链反应(PCR)和/或眼内液抗体分析阴性的 139 例疑似感染性葡萄膜炎但单纯疱疹病毒、水痘-带状疱疹病毒、巨细胞病毒和弓形体病的患者的眼内液进行实时 PCR,以检测 18 种病毒和 3 种细菌。将 48 例已知病因或白内障的葡萄膜炎患者的眼内液作为对照。
1 例患者的 EBV、风疹病毒和 HHV-6,以及 4 例患者的人副流感病毒 PCR 结果为阳性。1 例人副流感病毒阳性的患者免疫功能低下,表现为全葡萄膜炎。其他 3 例患者免疫功能正常,均为前葡萄膜炎,均伴有角膜受累。
人副流感病毒可能与感染性(角)巩膜炎有关。
