Abstract
PURPOSE: To analyze the patterns of uveitis and scleritis at the tertiary referral center in Nepal. METHODS: A retrospective review of uveitis and scleritis cases at Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology in 2014. RESULTS: A total of 1113 uveitis, 73 scleritis, 35 sclerouveitis cases were reviewed. Anterior uveitis (590, 53%) was most common, followed by panuveitis (20%), intermediate uveitis (14%), then posterior uvietis (12.9%). The most common causes of anterior, pan, and posterior uveitis were herpetic disease (15.1%), SHAPU (15.2%) and toxoplamosis (27.1%) respectively. The most common cause of scleritis & sclerouveitis was Tuberculosis (15.1%, 31.4% respectively). CONCLUSION: Herpetic disease, toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis and SHAPU were common infections.
