To report the pattern of uveitis in a tertiary eye care center in Bangladesh.
Retrospective analysis of all uveitis cases visiting uveitis clinic of Bangladesh Eye Hospital between January, 2009 and April, 2015.
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%).
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.
报告孟加拉国一家三级眼科中心的葡萄膜炎发病模式。
对 2009 年 1 月至 2015 年 4 月期间在孟加拉国眼科医院葡萄膜炎诊所就诊的所有葡萄膜炎患者进行回顾性分析。
本研究共纳入 652 例患者（平均年龄 32.3 岁，女性占 47.8%）。42.6%的病例为双眼葡萄膜炎。前葡萄膜炎最常见（39.2%），其次为中间葡萄膜炎（22.2%）、后葡萄膜炎（22%）和全葡萄膜炎（16.4%）。53.3%的患者确定了明确诊断。三个最常见的明确诊断是眼结核（10.7%），其次是 HLA-B27 相关葡萄膜炎（10.1%）和 Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada 病（VKHD；8.4%）。
在孟加拉国，眼结核仍然是葡萄膜炎的重要病因，而 HLA-B27 和 VKHD 则是最常见的非感染性葡萄膜炎实体。
