ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal y prospectivo para determinar las características epidemiológicas de 55 pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias de la úvea y atendidos en el Servicio de Oftalmología del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora de la provincia de Santiago de Cuba, en el período de enero a diciembre del 2006. En la casuística predominaron los afectados por uveítis del segmento anterior, que presentaron mayor número de síntomas en general y por paciente. Se encontró una relación significativa entre los resultados de los exámenes inmunológicos y la presencia de la oftalmopatía, con predominio de la visión borrosa o disminución de la agudeza visual.
