To investigate the role of ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFA) for monitoring therapeutic response to adalimumab in patients with Behcet's uveitis.
Patients with Behcet's uveitis treated with adalimumab for ≥30 weeks were included. Intraocular inflammation, best-corrected visual acuity, systemic medications, and UWFA scores were evaluated.
Thirty-eight eyes of 20 patients were included. Significant decreases in grading of anterior chamber cells and vitreous haze were observed at 6, 14, and 30 weeks after adalimumab administration ( < .001 for all). UWFA scores on vascular and capillary leakage were decreased at week 6 and further improved at weeks 14 and 30. Moreover, UWFA score further decreased at 14 and 30 weeks, even after manifest inflammation became quiescent at 6 weeks. ( = .004 and 0.001, respectively).
UWFA scores significantly improved in Behcet's uveitis patients treated with adalimumab, and further improvement of UWFA scores was found in patients with a clinically quiescent inflammatory state.
探讨超广角荧光素血管造影(UWFA)在监测阿达木单抗治疗 Behcet 葡萄膜炎患者疗效中的作用。
纳入接受阿达木单抗治疗≥30 周的 Behcet 葡萄膜炎患者。评估眼内炎症、最佳矫正视力、全身药物和 UWFA 评分。
共纳入 20 例患者的 38 只眼。阿达木单抗治疗后 6、14 和 30 周,前房细胞和玻璃体混浊分级显著降低(均<0.001)。血管和毛细血管渗漏的 UWFA 评分在第 6 周降低,并在第 14 和 30 周进一步改善。此外,即使在第 6 周炎症明显静止后,第 14 和 30 周 UWFA 评分仍进一步降低(分别为=0.004 和 0.001)。
接受阿达木单抗治疗的 Behcet 葡萄膜炎患者的 UWFA 评分显著改善,在炎症临床静止的患者中发现 UWFA 评分进一步改善。
