[Intermediate Uveitis in Adults and Children - Update]. / Intermediäre Uveitis bei Erwachsenen und Kindern ­ Update.

ABSTRACT

Intermediate uveitis is a rare disease. Interdiscliplinary investigations to identify or exclude an associated systemic disease (in Central Europe, this would primarily mean sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis) should be initiated even at the first manifestation of disease. Therapy should be started in those patients with marked inflammatory activity or secondary complications and primarily encompasses local and systemic corticosteroids, although some patients need second line steroid sparing systemic DMARD therapy (DMARD disease-modifying antirheumatic drug).
