An international, expert-led consensus initiative to develop systematic, evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis in era biologics.The availability biologic agents human eye disease has altered practice patterns management uveitis. Current guidelines are insufficient assure optimal use noncorticosteroid systemic immunomodulatory agents.An international expert steering committee comprising 9 specialists (including both ophthalmologists and rheumatologists)...
To study the microbial profile, antibiotic susceptibility pattern, risk factors, therapeutic trends, and clinical outcomes for keratitis (MK) in a tertiary health care center.All cases with suspected bacterial that were followed at consultation from September 2007 to August 2015 included. Microbial cultures obtained patients managed following an internal protocol.Two hundred thirty-five included, mean age of 50.01±20.73 years. We 38.4% culture-positive rate, higher proportion gram-positives...
Delay in diagnosis or treatment of ocular tuberculosis can result loss vision. However, due to the fact that early is rarely achieved, there are still a broad variety diagnostic and approaches. Our aim was reach consensus on management tuberculosis.

Abstract Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a member of the HHV family and rare cause infectious uveitis. We report case splenectomised patient, hospitalised due to invasive pneumococcal disease, who was diagnosed with retinitis in right eye, good visual acuity (0.1 LogMAR). Given presence HHV-6 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cerebrospinal fluid serum coexistence severe central nervous system infection, ophthalmological features were attributed infection. He treated topical corticosteroid...
Iatrogenic Cushing syndrome (ICS) can be caused by synthetic glucocorticoids administered through various routes. ICS corticosteroid eye drops is an exceptional event, being more frequent in pediatric age.

An 11-year-old girl was referred to our inflammation department due idiopathic, chronic, non-hypertensive, non-granulomatous bilateral anterior uveitis, treated dexamethasone (eye...
Purpose Beauveria bassiana is a ubiquitous fungus available as an insecticide. In humans, it has limited virulence; to our knowledge, only 3 cases of invasive disease and 10 keratitis have been documented. Methods Results We report the first case B in patient with aphakic bullous keratopathy. The fungal proved be highly resistant topical clotrimazole. Molecular identification was based on DNA sequence analysis. minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) obtained were 2 µg/mL for voriconazole,...

She monocular patient, left eye eviscerated due trauma and secondary endophthalmitis in 1995. had experienced similar recurring episodes between 2010 2013. Examination revealed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 20/200. The anterior segment presence flare absence cells. Intraocular pressure (IOP) 11 mmHg. Fundus...
Although classically classified as a non-inflammatory condition, an inflammatory basis for keratoconus (KC) appears to be growing evidence. Recently, it has been shown that KC patients have increased choroidal thickness (CT). Among disorders, atopy associated with development; therefore, the aim of this study was evaluate if CT in is related atopy.This analytical cross-sectional KC. Patients were atopic and non-atopic according their history (allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR), asthma (AA)...
