To study the epidemiological and clinical features of uveitis post-COVID-19 vaccination.
Retrospective chart review of patients presenting with uveitis after COVID-19 vaccination in tertiary uveitis services.
In total, 25 patients, 76% females, mean age 43.2 years, were included. Uveitis occurred after Pfizer, Moderna, Astra-Zeneca and Covaxin vaccination. Anterior uveitis was the most frequent type of uveitis (56%). History of uveitis was found in 19 cases (76%), among whom 90.9% of the tested patients developed anti-Sars-CoV-2 spike antibodies after vaccination. In a mean follow-up of 5 months, one-line decrease in visual acuity was found in 12% of patients. During post-vaccine uveitis, 15.8% of cases needed an increase in their systemic therapy. According to Naranjo score, new-onset uveitis had a higher probability of being associated with vaccination (p < .01).
COVID-19 vaccination can cause uveitis but has no significant impact on the visual prognosis after resolution.
研究 COVID-19 疫苗接种后葡萄膜炎的流行病学和临床特征。
回顾性分析在三级葡萄膜炎专科就诊的 COVID-19 疫苗接种后出现葡萄膜炎的患者的病历。
共纳入 25 名患者(76%为女性),平均年龄 43.2 岁。葡萄膜炎发生在接种辉瑞、莫德纳、阿斯利康和 Covaxin 疫苗之后。前葡萄膜炎是最常见的葡萄膜炎类型(56%)。19 例(76%)患者有葡萄膜炎病史,其中 90.9%的患者在接种疫苗后产生了抗 SARS-CoV-2 刺突抗体。在平均 5 个月的随访中,12%的患者视力出现了一线下降。在疫苗接种后葡萄膜炎期间,15.8%的病例需要增加全身治疗。根据 Naranjo 评分,新发葡萄膜炎与疫苗接种的相关性更高(p <.01)。
COVID-19 疫苗接种可引起葡萄膜炎,但在病情缓解后对视力预后无显著影响。
