Overview
Other diagnostic studies associated with uveitis include slit lamp test, dilated fundus exam, and ocular tonometry. The slit lamp test and a dilated fundus exam are considered gold standard modalities in diagnosing uveitis with a sensitivity of XX% and XX% respectively, and a specificity of XX% and XX% respectively.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies associated with uveitis include slit lamp test, dilated fundus exam, and ocular tonometry. The slit lamp test and a dilated fundus exam are considered gold standard modalities in diagnosing uveitis with a sensitivity of XX% and XX% respectively, and a specificity of XX% and XX% respectively. Findings on these diagnostic studies include:
Slit Lamp Test
A slit lamp examination is the gold standard for confirming uveitis. The following findings may be found on slit lamp examination:
- inflammatory cells or flare in the anterior chamber
- Keratic precipitates in the anterior chamber
- Mutton fat precipitates in the
Dilated Fundus Exam
Ocular Tonometry
On ocular tonometry, findings associated with uveitis may include:
- Decreased intraocular pressure (IOP) in acute anterior uveitis
- Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in chronic anterior uveitis, intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis
