INTRODUCTION: Seasonal Hyperacute Panuveitis (SHAPU) is a blinding disease in Nepal with unknown aetiology. Henceforth, we proposed to study the treatment outcome of a triple intravitreal combination therapy of dual steroids triamcinolone (long-acting steroid) and dexamethasone (short-acting steroid) along with antibiotic moxifloxacin for patients with severe stage of SHAPU.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted among the SHAPU patients presenting in severe stages during the September to December 2023 outbreak. Intravitreal injection of 4-mg preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide (4 mg/0.1 ml) with intravitreal dexamethasone injection (0.4 mg/0.1 ml) and 0.5 mg/0.1 ml of moxifloxacin was given in the operating theatre. Best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurements, vitreous haze and fundus evaluation, were assessed to determine the treatment outcome on examination on day 7 and day 30 following intravitreal combination therapy.
RESULT: A total of 6 patients (2 female and 4 male) were enrolled. At presentation, the mean BCVA was 2.40 ± 0.30 logMAR, mean intraocular pressure was 12.8 mmHg and vitreous haze was 4+ haze in all cases. The evaluation on the 7th day and 30th after injection showed significant improvement in BCVA (p value = 0.039; p value = 0.040, respectively). The change in the IOP at day 7 (p value = 0.85) was insignificant. However, the IOP change was significant at day 30 (p value = 0.5). Similarly, there was a marked reduction in the vitreous haze with better fundus visibility after treatment.
CONCLUSION: This study depicted that steroids prevent the dreaded complication of hypotony due to ciliary shutdown by combating severe inflammation, thus adding new hope to the armamentarium of SHAPU management.
