Purpose:
To study the etiology and pattern of uveitis in a tertiary ophthalmology center in Thailand.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on uveitis patients presenting to a uveitis clinic at Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand, between February 2014 and January 2015.
Results:
A total of 758 uveitis patients were enrolled into this study. The most common identified cause was herpetic uveitis (17.2%), followed by Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (13.5%), cytomegalovirus uveitis (12.7%), and HLA-B27/spondyloarthropathy-associated uveitis (12.4%).
Conclusions:
Herpetic uveitis was the commonest form of infectious uveitis, whereas Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease was most frequently seen as the non-infectious cause of uveitis in Thailand.
