Utility of screening investigations for systemic sarcoidosis in undifferentiated uveitis

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem systemic disorder, characterised histologically by non caseating granulomas. It most commonly presents with involvement of the lungs or mediastinal lymph nodes, but may have liver, cardiac, joint, skin, neurological and eye manifestations. 5 - 20% of subjects with systemic sarcoidosis have eye involvement, most commonly dry eye or uveitis.1
