ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Little is known about uveitis in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The authors studied diabetic patients with their first episode of uveitis.METHODS:
Cross-sectional, case note study documenting the uveitis, underlying cause/syndrome, treatment, type of DM and treatment, and any diabetic retinopathy.RESULTS:
There were 34 patients (M/F 17/17, 48 eyes) with their first uveitis episode (33 had type 2 DM). Mean age of onset of DM 49 years and uveitis 56 years. Uveitis was bilateral in 14 (45%), with most having idiopathic anterior uveitis. Visual acuity 6/18-6/60 in 15 eyes, and worse than 6/60 in 11 eyes. There was 3-4+ flare in 16 eyes, 3-4+ anterior chamber cells in 13 eyes. Diabetic retinopathy was seen in 20 (42%) eyes, and mean blood glucose was 13.64 mmol/L in 11 patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Diabetic patients presenting with uveitis, whatever the aetiology, may have severe inflammation, reduced vision, and poor glycaemic control.
