Uveitis : a Practical Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Intraocular Inflammation

Written as a practical guide for the diagnosis and treatment of uveitis, this text provides uveitis specialists, practicing ophthalmologists, ophthalmology residents and fellows with the appropriate diagnostic testing and evidenced-based therapeutic options for managing patients afflicted with these conditions. Written and edited by leaders in the fields of ophthalmology, rheumatology, internal medicine, infectious disease, and oncology, each chapter addresses the latest advances in the field: from the advent of PCR technology, intraocular depot steroid implants, neoplastic and infectious diseases masquerading as uveitis, and the use of systemic immunomoduatory therapies (including biologic agents/humanized monoclonal antibodies). -- Publisher Front Matter....Pages i-xvi Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Introduction....Pages 3-7 Approach to the Laboratory, Imaging, and Molecular Work-up for Uveitis....Pages 9-34 Front Matter....Pages 35-35 Bartonella....Pages 37-39 Candida....Pages 41-43 CMV Retinitis....Pages 45-52 Herpes Simplex and Herpes Zoster....Pages 53-62 Human Immunodeficiency Virus....Pages 63-66 Measles....Pages 67-69 Pneumocystis Jiroveci....Pages 71-72 Presumed Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome....Pages 73-79 Rubella....Pages 81-83 Syphilis....Pages 85-88 Ocular Toxocariasis....Pages 89-91 Ocular Toxoplasmosis....Pages 93-105 Tuberculosis....Pages 107-116 Whipple’s Disease....Pages 117-118 Front Matter....Pages 119-119 Adamantiades-Behçet’s Disease....Pages 121-127 Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy/Serpiginous Choroiditis....Pages 129-133 Ankylosing Spondylitis....Pages 135-141 Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy....Pages 143-147 Front Matter....Pages 119-119 Cogan Syndrome....Pages 149-163 Fuchs Heterochromic Iridocyclitis....Pages 165-169 HLA-B27....Pages 171-175 Inflammatory Bowel Disease....Pages 177-182 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis....Pages 183-188 Lens Induced....Pages 189-190 Masquerade Syndromes....Pages 191-205 Medication Induced....Pages 207-209 Multiple Sclerosis....Pages 211-216 Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome....Pages 217-218 Punctate Inner Choroidopathy....Pages 219-220 Psoriasis Associated....Pages 221-229 Reactive Arthritis/Uveitis Syndrome....Pages 231-233 Relapsing Polychondritis....Pages 235-237 Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis....Pages 239-242 Sarcoidosis....Pages 243-254 Sympathetic Ophthalmia....Pages 255-262 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus....Pages 263-269 Giant Cell Arteritis....Pages 271-274 Post-traumatic Uveitis and Post-operative Inflammation....Pages 275-284 Front Matter....Pages 119-119 Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome....Pages 285-289 Uveitis in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)....Pages 291-293 Front Matter....Pages 295-295 Topical Therapies....Pages 297-299 Medical Therapy....Pages 301-316 Surgical Therapy: Retisert Implant....Pages 317-327 Surgical Therapy: Dexamethasone Biodegradable Intravitreal Implant (Ozurdex®)....Pages 329-334 Front Matter....Pages 335-335 Cataracts....Pages 337-341 Macular Edema....Pages 343-354 Management of Glaucoma....Pages 355-360 Back Matter....Pages 361-371 References; 7 Human Immunodeficiency Virus; Introduction; Ocular Manifestations; Laboratory Testing; Treatment; Conclusion; References; 8 Measles; Introduction; Epidemiology; Clinical Presentation; Diagnosis; Treatment; Conclusion; References; 9 Pneumocystis Jiroveci; Introduction; Epidemiology; Clinical Manifestations; Diagnosis; Treatment; Conclusion; References; 10 Presumed Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome; Introduction; Etiology; Epidemiology; Histopathology; Pathophysiology; Risk Factors; Diagnosis; History; Physical Exam; Diagnostic Procedures; Differential Diagnosis; Management
