Panuveitis
Panuveitis is a comprehensive inflammatory condition affecting all layers of the uvea, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid of the eye. This condition can lead to severe visual impairment if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Understanding the causes, symptoms, treatment options, and preventive measures is crucial for managing panuveitis effectively.
Causes of Panuveitis
Panuveitis can be triggered by a variety of factors, and its exact cause often remains unknown. However, several potential causes have been identified:
Infectious Causes
- Bacterial Infections: Certain bacteria, such as tuberculosis and syphilis, can lead to panuveitis.
- Viral Infections: Viruses like herpes simplex and cytomegalovirus are known to cause inflammation in the eye.
- Fungal Infections: Fungi such as histoplasmosis can also be a contributing factor.
Non-Infectious Causes
- Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like sarcoidosis and Behçet’s disease can cause the immune system to attack the eye.
- Idiopathic: In many cases, the cause remains unknown, and the condition is termed idiopathic panuveitis.
Symptoms of Panuveitis
The symptoms of panuveitis can vary depending on the severity and underlying cause of the inflammation. Common symptoms include:
- Eye Pain: Persistent pain in the eye is a common symptom.
- Redness: The eye may appear red due to inflammation.
- Blurred Vision: Vision may become blurry or hazy.
- Photophobia: Sensitivity to light is often reported by patients.
- Floaters: Patients may see small specks or lines floating in their field of vision.
Treatment of Panuveitis
The treatment of panuveitis aims to reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and address any underlying causes. Treatment options include:
Medications
- Corticosteroids: These are often the first line of treatment to reduce inflammation. They can be administered as eye drops, oral tablets, or injections.
- Immunosuppressive Agents: In cases where corticosteroids are not effective, medications that suppress the immune system may be used.
- Antibiotics/Antivirals: If an infection is the cause, appropriate antibiotics or antivirals will be prescribed.

Prevention of Panuveitis
While it may not always be possible to prevent panuveitis, certain measures can reduce the risk of developing this condition:
- Regular Eye Examinations: Routine eye check-ups can help detect early signs of inflammation.
- Managing Underlying Conditions: Proper management of autoimmune diseases and infections can lower the risk.
- Protective Eyewear: Wearing protective eyewear can prevent eye injuries that might lead to inflammation.
