Andrea Oleñik et al. Ocul Immunol Inflamm. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

Purpose: To report the use of flow cytometry on aqueous fluid to diagnose sarcoidosis in a patient with recurrent granulomatous anterior uveitis.

Methods: Case report.

Results: Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid demonstrated a CD4/CD8 ratio >9.5, consistent with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Conclusions: Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid may offer an additional pathway for diagnosing sarcoid anterior uveitis.

Keywords: Aqueous humor; flow cytometry; ocular inflammation; ocular sarcoidosis; uveitis.
