Overview
A history of cigarette smoking is associated with all etiologies and subtypes of uveitis.[1] Some underlying causes have specific potent risk factors for developing uveitis such as seronegative spondyloarthropathies, immunosuppression, sarcoidosis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.[2]
Risk factors
A history of smoking is associated with all etiologies and subtypes of uveitis.[1] Some underlying causes may have potent risk factors for developing uveitis such as:[2]
- Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy: HLA-B27 or HLA-DR2 alleles, preceding viral illness, underlying vasculitis
- CMV retinitis: HIV, CD4 count <50, severe immunosuppression, localized ocular immunosuppression
- Necrotizing herpitic retinitis: Immunosuppression
- Punctuate inner choroidopathy: Myopia in females, age 18 to 40
- Sarcoid uveitis: African American race, age<50
- Autoimmune scleritis: Female gender, age 40-60 years
- Sympathetic ophthalmia: Ocular trauma with delayed closing of the wound
- Acute anterior uveitis: HLA-B27 allele, ankylosing spondylitis, psoraitic arthritis
- TINU syndrome: Female gender
- Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome: Hispanic or Japanese race, HLA-DR1 and HLA-DR4 alleles
- Drug-induced uveitis: Use of rifabutin, cidofovir, bisphosphonates, sulfonamides, moxifloxacin, metipranolol, brimonidine, prostaglandin analogues, or flurbiprofen
