AIM: To investigate the characteristics of uveitis in a secondary hospital in southern China.METHODS: We reviewed all records of patients with uveitis at Hengli Hospital from January 2008 to December2011. Demographic data, past history, ophthalmic examinations and other laboratory tests were analyzed.RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-nine uveitis patients were enrolled in this study, including 134(67.3%) males and 65 females(32.7%) with an average age of 41.0 ±15.1y. The anatomical distribution included103(51.8%) cases of anterior uveitis, followed by panuveitis(65, 32.7%), posterior uveitis(29, 14.6%) and intermediate uveitis(2, 1.0%). Of the 98(49.2%) non-idiopathic cases, there were 10.1% Behcet’s disease,9.5% Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada(VKH) syndrome, 7.5%infectious uveitis, 7.5% traumatic uveitis and 3.5%postoperative uveitis.CONCLUSION: Idiopathic anterior and posterior uveitis,Behcet’s disease, VKH syndrome, infectious uveitis and traumatic uveitis are the most common uveitis entities in a secondary hospital in southern China. Additional measures should be taken to prevent infectious and traumatic uveitis.
