Uveitis is a common ocular disease that includes iritis, ciliary body inflammation and chorioretinitis, which are sterile inflammations of the iris, ciliary body and choroid of the eye, respectively, and all three can occur separately or together. The exact etiology of the disease is unknown, but its development is associated with autoimmunity. Uveitis is very closely related to rheumatic immune diseases, with approximately 20% to 40% of uveitis appearing as a clinical symptom of rheumatic immune diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, leukoarthritis, Leiter’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Uveitis can occur before, after, or simultaneously with other symptoms of these diseases; in some patients, uveitis manifests itself particularly prominently, while musculo-articular and systemic symptoms are not obvious, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and make the treatment of uveitis difficult, often leading to vision loss and even blindness due to recurrent attacks. Therefore, patients with newly diagnosed uveitis or recurrent uveitis should be promptly examined by the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology to determine if they have rheumatic immune diseases. Once a clear diagnosis is made, rheumatic immune diseases should be treated at the same time in order to avoid the recurrence of uveitis and prevent the occurrence of blindness.
