Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is characterized by recurrent bouts of inflammation interrupted by periods of quiescence that vary in duration. There is little consensus on the clinical manifestations, the underlying causes, or the management. The 3 commonly recognized syndromes of ERU (classic, insidious, and posterior) do not accurately separate the clinical manifestations of disease into distinct categories. An accurate diagnosis and early intervention are essential to minimizing the effects of disease and preserving vision. There are multiple medical and surgical options for controlling ERU as long as the disease is recognized early and targeted treatment is initiated immediately.
马复发性葡萄膜炎(ERU)的特征是炎症反复发作,中间穿插着持续时间各异的静止期。关于其临床表现、潜在病因或治疗方法,目前几乎没有共识。ERU常见的三种公认综合征(典型、隐匿性和后部型)并不能准确地将疾病的临床表现分为不同类别。准确的诊断和早期干预对于将疾病的影响降至最低并保护视力至关重要。只要能早期识别疾病并立即开始针对性治疗,就有多种药物和手术选择来控制ERU。
