[Endogenous uveitis in senior patients].
Forty-seven cases of endogenous uveitis aged 60 and above were analyzed in the retrospective study. The result shows males are more than females (1.2:1). Among the 47 cases, 28 cases (59.57%) are anterior uveitis, 18 cases (38.30%) are panuveitis. Only 1 case (2.13%) is posterior uveitis. Immediated-type uveitis is not found. Besides, 34 cases are non-granulomatosis type, more than the cases with granulomatosis type (13 cases). The major complications are secondary glaucoma (22 cases) and complicated cataract (16 cases). Immunological tests to the patients showed the unbalance of immune-regulation was mostly complicated by immune-related sickness. The cure rate was 40.58%. The invalid and deteriorative rate was 17.39%. 62.32% of the patients had the vision acuity lower than 0.3 after the treatment.
