title: [Diagnostics in childhood uveitis: what tests for which uveitis?].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intraocular inflammation in children differs considerably from that found in adults. Therefore the diagnostic work-up has to be adapted to the age and specific diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  The published literature was reviewed for results of clinical trials and consensus meetings. In addition, the authors have incorporated their own experience.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Recommendations for a systematic and complete diagnostic work-up are given using tables where possible.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A close cooperation between ophthalmologists and paediatricians is very important.
