There are no established risk factors for most etiologies of uveitis. Some underlying causes may have potent risk factors for developing uveitis such as:
'''Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy''': [[HLA-B27]] or [[HLA-DR2]] [[alleles]], preceding [[viral]] illness, underlying [[vasculitis]]
'''[[CMV retinitis]]''': [[HIV]], [[CD4 count]] <50, severe [[immunosuppression]], localized ocular [[immunosuppression]]
'''[[Necrotizing herpitic retinitis]]''': [[Immunosuppression]]
'''[[Punctuate inner choroidopathy]]''': [[Myopia]] in females, age 18 to 40
'''[[Sarcoid uveitis]]''': African American race, age<50
'''[[Autoimmune scleritis]]''': Female gender, age 40-60 years
'''[[Sympathetic ophthalmia]]''': ocular trauma with delayed closing of the wound
'''Acute anterior uveitis''': [[HLA-B27]] [[allele]], [[ankylosing spondylitis]], [[psoraitic arthritis]]
'''TINU syndrome''': Female gender
'''[[Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease]]: Hispanic or Japanese race, [[HLA-DR1]] and [[HLA-DR4]] [[alleles]]
'''Drug-induced uveitis''': Use of [[rifabutin]], [[cidofovir]], [[bisphosphonates]], [[sulfonamides]], [[moxifloxacin]], [[metipranolol]], [[brimonidine]], [[prostaglandin]] analogues, [[flurbiprofen]]

Overview

There are no established risk factors for most etiologies of uveitis. Some underlying causes may have potent risk factors for developing uveitis

Risk factors

There are no established risk factors for most etiologies of uveitis. Some underlying causes may have potent risk factors for developing uveitis such as: Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy: HLA-B27 or HLA-DR2 alleles, preceding viral illness, underlying vasculitis CMV retinitis: HIV, CD4 count <50, severe immunosuppression, localized ocular immunosuppression Necrotizing herpitic retinitis: Immunosuppression Punctuate inner choroidopathy: Myopia in females, age 18 to 40 Sarcoid uveitis: African American race, age<50 Autoimmune scleritis: Female gender, age 40-60 years Sympathetic ophthalmia: ocular trauma with delayed closing of the wound Acute anterior uveitis: HLA-B27 allele, ankylosing spondylitis, psoraitic arthritis TINU syndrome: Female gender Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: Hispanic or Japanese race, HLA-DR1 and HLA-DR4 alleles Drug-induced uveitis: Use of rifabutin, cidofovir, bisphosphonates, sulfonamides, moxifloxacin, metipranolol, brimonidine, prostaglandin analogues, flurbiprofen
