PURPOSE: To describe the clinical characteristics and longitudinal pattern of visual acuity (VA) of pediatric patients with uveitis at a tertiary center in Thailand.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of children with uveitis ≤16 years who presented to the clinic between January 2010 and June 2020.
RESULTS: The mean age at onset was 9.1(±4.3) years; the main characteristics were chronic (64.4%), unilateral (68.6%), and panuveitis (39%). The common etiologies were ocular toxoplasmosis (11.9%), herpetic uveitis (10.2%), and ocular toxocariasis (6.8%). Further, 40% of the eyes presented with VA of ≤20/200; mean VA at baseline improved from 0.93 to 0.72 logMAR at 3 months after presentation (P < .001), the baseline VA of ≤20/200 was significantly associated with poor VA outcome at 1 year.
CONCLUSION: Chronic, unilateral, and panuveitis represented the majority of our children with uveitis. Infectious etiology was common. Significant VA improvement can be achieved with optimum management.
