Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of adult patients with uveitis who were admitted to our clinic between 2011 and 2013. Methods: Records of the patients older than 18 years old with a diagnosis of uveitis between November 2011 and May 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, diagnosis, affected eye, anatomical localization of uveitis, and systemic features were recorded from the patient files. Results: In this study 352 patients were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 35.7±12.8 years. Of the patients 177 patients (50.3%) were women and 175 (49.7%) were male. The most common etiology was detected as idiopathic uveitis. Following most common reasons were Behcet's disease, and toxoplasma chorioretinitis. Anterior uveitis was found to be the most common involvement site. Panuveititis was the second most common involvement site. 69.1% of the patients had unilateral uveitis. The most common complications of the uveitis were found to be the development of secondary cataracts and glaucoma. Conclusion: In our study general characteristics of patients, the etiological factors and demographic data of the uveitis patient in Southeastern of Turkey were presented. Because of a similar study has not been performed previously in our region, our data will be useful in earlier diagnosis and follow-up of uveitis patients. Key words: Demographic, etiology, uveitis
