[THE APPROACH TO INFECTIOUS UVEITIS IN CHILDREN].
Harefuah 2018 April
INTRODUCTION: Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the intraocular structures involving various parts of the eye. Delays in diagnosis or treatment can lead to severe and irreversible vision loss. There are many causes leading to the development of uveitis, including: infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune and idiopathic sources. Uveitis is rarer in children than in other age groups and its diagnosis is challenging and treatment is complex. This disease might present at later stages after vision damage is already present. Uveitis and decreased vision may be the presenting symptom and/or sign of various inflammatory diseases, which would become fully expressed many years later.

Moreover, we will clarify existing diagnostic tools and treatment options relevant for each underlying cause.
