ALGORITHM FOR SCREENING DIAGNOSIS OF CHRONIC INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS
Abstract
Complications of intermediate uveitis are an important medical and social problem.The aim of the study is to develop an algorithm for screening diagnosis of chronic intermediate uveitis.In our study 208 patients (416 eyes) with diagnosed intermediate uveitis were observed. Average age is 32,4±5,2 years. The study included evaluation of patients’ complains and clinical data of slit-lamp biomicroscopy, as well as the results of ophthalmoscopy with sclerocompression. The obtained data were compared among the two groups of patients.The study revealed the most specific diagnostic signs of chronic intermediate uveitis. An algorithm for screening diagnosis has been developed. The most significant complaints are discomfort, blurred vision, the state of anterior eye surface.The suggested screening algorithm can help ophthalmologists to determine among all patients those with risk factors for intermediate uveitis, send them for further examination of external retinal periphery and to administer correct treatment.
