Abstract

Uveitis is an intraocular inflammation of multiple possible etiologies, making its clinical management particularly challenging. Autoimmune uveitis is a leading and under-recognized cause of preventable blindness. Systemic sarcoidosis, spondyloarthritis, Behçet’s syndrome and VogtKoyanagi-Harada’s syndrome are systemic autoimmune diseases frequently associated with uveitis.

A stepwise approach of autoimmune uveitis is essential to appropriate diagnosis and early treatment. When autoimmune uveitis is suspected, patients should be promptly referred to an ophthalmologist for the classification of ocular lesions; thereafter, a multidisciplinary investigation of a subjacent systemic disease must follow. Currently, no consensus diagnostic algorithm is accepted for autoimmune uveitis and an individualized approach is generally used. The treatment of autoimmune uveitis depends on ocular semiology, being further refined if an underlying systemic disorder is identified.

This review focuses on relevant clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic issues related to autoimmune uveitis in adults, with emphasis on the main associated systemic autoimmune diseases. A diagnostic algorithm for autoimmune uveitis is proposed.
