To describe the clinical profile of patients with HLA-B27-associated uveitis at 2 Egyptian tertiary eye centers.
A retrospective study reviewing the medical records of all patients with HLA-B27-associated uveitis served at 2 uveitis referral clinics in Egypt between January 2010 and June 2018.
The study included a total of 554 patients. Anterior uveitis was the most common type. Ankylosing spondylitis was an important systemic comorbidity in the present study, affecting 27.4% of our patients. Cataract was the most frequent ocular complication. By the conclusion of the study, 6.1% of the affected eyes had a BSCVA poorer than 20/200.
The clinical profile of HLA-B27-associated uveitis in our cohort of Egyptian patients is similar to that reported from other regions of the world. In our study, a relatively high rate of cataract was observed.
描述2家埃及三级眼科中心HLA - B27相关葡萄膜炎患者的临床特征。
一项回顾性研究,回顾了2010年1月至2018年6月期间在埃及2家葡萄膜炎转诊诊所就诊的所有HLA - B27相关葡萄膜炎患者的病历。
该研究共纳入554例患者。前葡萄膜炎是最常见的类型。强直性脊柱炎是本研究中一种重要的全身性合并症,影响了27.4%的患者。白内障是最常见的眼部并发症。到研究结束时,6.1%的患眼最佳矫正视力低于20/200。
我们埃及患者队列中HLA - B27相关葡萄膜炎的临床特征与世界其他地区报道的相似。在我们的研究中,观察到白内障的发生率相对较高。
