Inflammatory adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination are being reported amidst the growing concerns regarding vaccine's immunogenicity and safety, especially in patients with pre-existing inflammatory conditions.Multinational case series of diagnosed an ocular event within 14 days collected from 40 centres over a 3 month period 2021.Seventy presented vaccination. The mean age was 51 years (range, 19-84 years). most common were anterior uveitis (n = 41, 58.6%), followed by posterior 9,...
<h3>Aims</h3> To report long-term clinical outcome of topical 1% 5-fluoruracil (5-FU) as a sole treatment ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). <h3>Methods</h3> 41 patients affected by OSSN were included. Each patient underwent full ophthalmological examination at baseline, with cytological or histological confirmation. Patients treated chemotherapy 5-FU four times day for 4 weeks. One course was defined weeks chemotherapy. Adjunctive courses administered after 1 month chemotherapy-free...
Purpose: To standardize a nomenclature system for defining clinical phenotypes, and outcome measures reporting research data in patients with ocular tuberculosis (OTB).Methods: Uveitis experts initially administered further deliberated the survey an open meeting to determine propose preferred terms related OTB, describing phenotypes treatment outcomes.Results: The group of reached consensus on terming uveitis attributable (TB) as tubercular uveitis. working introduced SUN-compatible that...
Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) are at a currently unpredictable risk of blinding, often asymptomatic, co-existent eye disorder, anterior uveitis which requires prompt treatment. The unpredictability this insidious disorder commits children JIA to three-monthly expert clinical examinations in specialist centres located far from their homes. Optical coherence tomography the ocular segment (AS-OCT) has been shown be an acceptable, repeatable and sensitive modality for...
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infection that can affect the eye as first and sole presentation without features of systemic disease. Controversy exists regarding diagnosis management tubercular uveitis (TBU), further compounded by regional variations in disease expression. Purpose: Collaborative Ocular Study (COTS)-1 aims to address knowledge deficits through collaboration amongst specialists across globe sharing data patients with TBU presented at participating centers from...
Background Immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) is often considered for systemic treatment of non-infectious uveitis (NIU). During the evolving coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, given concerns related to IMT and increased risk infections, an urgent need guidance on management in patients with has emerged. Methods A cross-sectional survey international experts was conducted. An expert steering committee identified clinical questions use NIU during COVID-19 pandemic. Using interactive...
To report treatment outcomes and efficacy of the fluocinolone acetonide 0.19 mg intravitreal implant (Iluvien) in controlling retinal choroidal inflammation 11 patients with birdshot retinochoroiditis.A single-centre, retrospective, interventional case series. The primary end point was improvement vascular leakage on fluorescein angiography (FA), effect cystoid macular oedema (CMO) resolution hypofluorescent lesions indocyanine green (ICGA); secondary measures were improvements pattern...
Ocular inflammatory events following COVID-19 vaccination have been reported in the adult population.
Purpose: To analyze choroidal angioarchitecture in sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) images.Methods: Case-control study of six patients with SO. Qualitative changes and quantitative parameters, including thickness (CT) vascularity index (CVI), were analyzed.Results: findings the acute phase SO on SS-OCT included retinal serous detachment hyperreflective septa, folds, alterations loss vascular lacunae, Dalen-Fuchs nodules. There was...
An international, expert led consensus initiative was set up by the Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS) group to develop systematic, evidence, and experience-based recommendations for treatment of ocular TB using a modified Delphi technique process. In first round Delphi, identified clinical scenarios pertinent based on five phenotypes (anterior uveitis, intermediate choroiditis, retinal vasculitis, panuveitis). Using an interactive online questionnaires, guided background...
