Uveitis.
Diagnosis and management of the child with an ocular inflammation demands that all of the standard tools of medicine be employed: family and individual history, particularly of allergy, social and diet history, system review, physical examination, and basic laboratory testing with special tests for certain microorganisms and allergies. Close cooperation among pediatrician, ophthalmologist, and family is important. Cases are rare, and management often requires special experience.
