All rights reserved. Purpose: To report on ocular manifestations and visual outcomes of Thai patients with Behçet’s Uveitis (BU). Methods: We reviewed medical records of 50 BU patients (31 males and 19 females). Ocular manifestations, treatment modalities, complications, and visual outcomes were registered. Results: Ocular involvement was bilateral in 76% of patients, resulting in 89 affected eyes. Panuveitis and posterior uveitis were the most common types. Retinal vasculitis was noted in majority of affected eyes and specifically arteritis was noticed in 32/57(56%). Most patients received combination therapy of systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents (azathioprine 72%). At final visit, VA ≤20/200 was observed in 25 affected eyes (28%). Risk factors for poor visual outcome were poor visual acuity at presentation (p < 0.001) and development of optic atrophy (p = 0.01). Conclusions: Typical ocular manifestations of Thai patients with BU consisted of bilateral uveitis affecting posterior eye segment with high rate of complications and frequent visual loss. 2018-09-05T03:46:33Z 2018-09-05T03:46:33Z 2017-10-12 Journal 17445078 09273948 2-s2.0-85031103896 10.1080/09273948.2017.1351570 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85031103896&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/57595 |
