We conducted a retrospective analysis of 600 patients with uveitis seen at the Estelle Doheny Eye Center [Los Angeles, California, USA] to determine the frequency of occurrence of the various forms of uveitis and to see if the causes of uveitis have changed as compared with previous studies. In 402 cases (67.0%) we established a specific diagnosis based on history, physical findings, and laboratory studies: 167 cases (27.8%) involved primarily the anterior segment, 230 (38.4%) the posterior segment, and 111 (18.4%) occurred as panuveitis. Intermediate uveitis (pars planitis) was the single most frequently diagnosed uveitic entity and accounted for 92 cases (15.4%). We compared our findings with those of previously published studies and found that, as new diseases occur and improved diagnostic techniques become available, the differential diagnosis of uveitis continues to change.
