Clinical Variations of Uveitis in Immuno-Inflammatory Diseases. Review of the Literature. Part 1

Non-infectious uveitis is one of the main and insufficiently studied causes of disability and blindness in patients with immuno-inflammatory diseases. Uveitis associated with spondyloarthritis, Behcet’s disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic sarcoidosis and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome are described more often and better than others, but the pathogenesis of different variants of their course is not well understood. Also, there remains a need to study the clinical and pathogenetic features of uveitis in rare autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Despite the currently existing diagnostic and therapeutic schemes, further study of the pathogenesis of uveitis associated with immune-inflammatory diseases is required, the research of a personalized approach and an algorithm for joint multidisciplinary diagnosis by specialists in various fields. A deeper understanding of the specific pathogenetic mechanisms will reveal new possibilities in the treatment of patients with autoimmune uveitis. This article is devoted to the current clinical and differential diagnostic aspects, common features and distinctive features associated with various variants of the course of non-infectious uveitis in patients with immuno-inflammatory diseases.
