Abstract

Purpose: To report epidemiology of uveitis in a tertiary-care referral institute in North India.

Methods: Hospital records of patients with uveitis between June 2011 and September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Of the 1912 patients, 56.64% were males. Anterior uveitis (43.04%) was the most common manifestation followed by posterior uveitis (24.58%), panuveitis (16.21%), and intermediate uveitis (10.66%). Specific etiologies could be ascertained in 60.56%. Tuberculosis (22.9%) was the most common infectious and HLA-B27-associated uveitis (9.46%) among non-infectious causes.

Conclusions: There is a trend towards a decrease in idiopathic etiologies of uveitis. Tuberculosis remains the most common infectious etiology in North India.

Keywords: Choroiditis; epidemiology; panuveitis; tuberculosis; uveitis.
