| Abstract;We reviewed cases of uveitis regarding the associated resence of iris nodules. Out of 263 cases of uveitis seen during 6 years 7 months through 1997, iris nodules were present in 73 eyes of 55 cases (21%). These 73 eyes comprised sarcoidosis 17 eyes (23%), Harada disease 15 eyes (21%), HTLV-1 associated uveitis (HAU) 12 eyes (16%) and others. In protracted Harada disease, iris nodules were present in 13 eyes (87%) and absent in 5 eyes (20%). The difference was significant (p<0.01). In Harada disease, eyes with iris nodules at the initial examination showed a higher tendency for recurrence (p=0.02). In eyes with iris nodules, nodules in the chamber angle were more frequent in sarcoidosis than Harada disease (p=0.002). (author abst.) |
