Computer registration of uveitis patients.

An analysis was made of 1309 patients with uveitis seen at University Hospitals participating in the Uveitis Centre of the Netherlands Ophthalmic Research Institute. In this series B27-associated anterior uveitis was the most frequent entity (18%) followed by Toxoplasma chorioretinitis (7%). Sarcoid uveitis, pars planitis and Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis each accounted for approximately 4-5% of cases. In 44% of the patients no specific diagnosis could be made. Central diagnosis registration is of great importance when conducting clinical uveitis research.
