Pan-uveitis - A rare ocular manifestation of dengue
Journal Title: Journal of International Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Dengue is an important arthropod vector-borne disease in the tropical region. Ocular manifestations in dengue are nowadays an important vision threatening condition. The ocular manifestations range from subconjunctival hemorrhage to pan-uveitis. The timely detection and intervention is important in these conditions for salvaging the vision of the patient. The ocular manifestation is believed to be immune mediated and hence timely treatment is essential. Here we report a rare and severe form of ocular manifestation of dengue.
