Hamza Toufik et al. Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. .

Abstract

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory rheumatism characterized by common clinical, radiological, and biological manifestations occurring on a predisposing genetic background dominated by the HLA-B27 antigen. Acute anterior uveitis is the most common extra-articular feature of SpA. The objective of this review is to describe the prevalence, demographic characteristics, factors favoring the occurrence of uveitis in patients with SpA, clinical manifestations, and their therapeutic management.

Keywords: Anterior uveitis; biologics; corticosteroids; immunosuppressive agents; spondyloarthritis.
