Uveitis in patients with Graves' disease.
Uveitis was studied in patients with Graves' Disease. Graves' disease was found in 2.3% of uveitis patients, but no uveitis was found in patients with Graves' disease who visited our clinic with Graves' ophthalmology. Most of the Graves' disease patients with uveitis had had uncontrolled thyroid function before the onset of uveitis. Generally speaking, uveitis was mild. Steroid hormone therapy was very effective. No specific HLA type was found in our patients with uveitis.
