Three HLA-A29 positive patients with uveitis.
We evaluated the ocular symptomatology in 3 HLA-A29 positive patients with uveitis. In two patients we saw bilateral flecked fundus lesions known as birdshot retinochoroidopathy. One patient with an idiopathic vasculitis had no depigmented fundus flecks. The differences and similarities in these 3 patients are described.
