As uveitis manifests in a variety of clinical etiologies, differentiation must also be established in accordance with the particular subtype. Etiologies of acute anterior unilateral infectious uveitis must be differentiated from  other subtypes that cause conjuctival injection, pain, and photophobia, such as acute anterior bilateral non-infectious uveitis or chronic anterior uveitis. Diversely, posterior infectious uveitis must be differentiated from other subtypes that cause visual changes, such as intermediate non-infectious uveitis and infectious panuveitis.
==== Anterior Uveitis ====
Anterior uveitis can be differentiated according to the following presentation:
* '''Acute''' (>3 months of active symptoms)
** '''''Unilateral'''''
*** ''Infectious'': [[Cytomegalovirus]], [[Herpes simplex]], [[Varicella zoster]]
*** ''Non-infectious'': [[seronegative spondyloarthropathy]], [[relapsing polychondritis]], [[systemic lupus erythematosus]] (SLE), [[Kawasaki disease]]
** '''''Bilateral'''''
*** '''''Infectious''''':
*** ''Non-infectious'': [[tubulointerstitial nephritis]] with uveitis (TINU syndrome)
* '''Chronic''' (>3 months of active symptoms)
** ''Infectious'': [[Tuberculosis]]
** ''Non-infectious'': [[juvenile idiopathic arthritis]], [[Sjorgen syndrome]], [[sarcoidosis]]
==== Intermediate Uveitis ====
Intermediate may present with [[unilateral]] or [[bilateral]] involvement. It can be differentiated according to the following [[etiology|etiologies]]:
* ''Infectious'': [[Lyme disease]], [[Whipple's disease]]
* ''Non-infectious'': [[multiple sclerosis]], [[sarcoidosis]], [[tubulointerstitial nephritis]] with uveitis (TINU syndrome), [[lymphoma]]
==== Posterior Uveitis ====
Posterior uveitis may present with [[unilateral]] or [[bilateral]] involvement. It can be differentiated according to the following [[etiology|etiologies]]:
* ''Infectious'': [[Toxoplasmosis]], [[Cytomegalovirus]], [[Tuberculosis]], [[Syphilis]], [[Toxocariasis]], [[Herpes simplex]], [[Varicella zoster]]
* ''Non-infectious'':[[Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome]], [[systemic lupus erythematosus]], [[granulomatosis with polyangitis]], [[Behcet's disease]], [[lymphoma]]
==== Panuveitis ====
Panuveitis may present with [[unilateral]] or [[bilateral]] involvement. It can be differentiated according to the following [[etiology|etiologies]]:
* ''Infectious'': [[Tuberculosis]], [[Syphilis]]
* ''Non-infectious'': [[juvenile idiopathic arthritis]], [[Behcet's disease]], [[sarcoidosis]], [[Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome]], [[Sjorgen syndrome]]

Overview

Uveitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause conjunctival injection, eye pain, photophobia, or visual disturbance. Masquerade syndromes, which are ophthalmic disorders that clinically present as either an anterior or posterior uveitis but are not primarily inflammatory, must be differentiated from uveitis. As uveitis manifests in a variety of clinical etiologies, differentiation must also be established in accordance with the particular subtype.[1][2][3][4]

Masquerade syndromes

Masquerade syndromes are ophthalmic disorders that clinically present as either an anterior or posterior uveitis, but are not primarily inflammatory. The following are some of the most common:[4]

  • Anterior segment
