” Diagnostic uvitis is one of the major impacts and up to 50% of cases can be associated with autoimmune diseases or infections involving other organs of the body ”, explains Armando L.Oliver Ophthalmologist.
The initial diagnosis of uveitis, suele is based on the historical and ophthalmic exam.The professional of the visual health, mediating the exam of hand lamp, can detect the presence of leukocytes, both in the anterior segment of the eye with the vitreous humor.
In the same way, you can write down detailed details such as the presence of granules in the cornea or in the iris, which allow you to classify the type of uveitis in particular. Ultimately, when the ophthalmologist examines the foundation of the eye, it can determine whether it has inflammation of the retina or the coronary arteries.
” Once it has been determined that the patient has uveitis, classify the syndrome in particular, live in the body of systems and physical examinations, as well as serological and ophthalmic radiological tests ”, mentions the species.
Además, the chair of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Recinto de Ciencias Médicas, explained. ” Existing systemic conditions exist that can cause practically all types of uveitis, syphilis and sarcoidosis. The first is that practically every patient should have the serological tests performed for syphilis and a radiograph of the sole that is up to 90% sensitive to capture the presence of sarcoidosis. Contrary to many rheumatological conditions such as the inflammatory crisis, where inflammation decreases by 50%, it means a large increase in the number of patients treated, we aggressively seek to eliminate inflation by 100% in order to avoid further constipation.
Infected uveitis is of particular importance. Many times, the diagnosis of a serious systemic infection occurs through the ocular hallucinations. For example, when a patient is diagnosed with uvitis due to Lyme disease, the majority of the wounds have no idea what they are infected with.
” In the majority of uveitis by spirits, occurring in secondary stages or recent stages of infertility. If we add the hecho of that many times, it is not possible to differentiate an uveitis infected by an autoimmune, only with the physical exam it is impossible to recalculate the importance of trying to treat conditions in patients. ” Manifesto el Dr. Oliver.
Treatment
When uveitis occurs exclusively in the anterior segment of the eye, gouty corticosteroids may be sufficient to control the condition. Although many times there are periodic injections of triamcinolone, the wounds can be seen in large amounts in short space.
In recent decades, the Administration of Medicines and Foods (FDA) has approved intraocular implants for the use of patients with uvitis. The first is the reticulation, which requires surgery in the operating room, monitoring the uvitis for a period of two years.As a second lie, it is Ozurdex that is administered in the medical office and has a duration of six months.
These are not only uvaitis, they are also fast and effective form of any organ that is involved in the autoimmune inflammation process.
