    Posterior uveitis, an eye inflammation, was found in 6.9% of autopsy cases. This condition was more common in patients with systemic diseases like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology
    • Rheumatology

    Context:

    • Autopsy studies provide insights into disease prevalence.
    • Posterior uveitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the back of the eye.
    • Understanding uveitis associations aids in early diagnosis and management.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence of posterior uveitis in an autopsy cohort.
    • To identify systemic diseases associated with posterior uveitis.
    • To compare disease frequencies in uveitis patients versus a control group.

    Summary:

    • Posterior uveitis was identified in 6.9% of 2943 autopsies (202 cases).
    • The majority (98%) of cases presented as non-granulomatous inflammation.
    • Diabetes mellitus and inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, myocarditis, endocarditis, hepatitis) showed increased frequency in uveitis patients.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the link between systemic inflammatory diseases and posterior uveitis.
    • Suggests screening for systemic conditions in patients diagnosed with uveitis.
    • Informs clinical practice and future research on uveitis etiology.
