Clinical Features of Acute Anterior Uveitis with Complicated Course in a Slovenian Patient Population.

Conclusion: Almost ¾ of AAU patients that required hospitalization were HLA-B27+. In this group, disease was more severe, more frequently associated with ocular complications and systemic disease, but final visual acuity was the same in both groups. HLA-B27 typing has no prognostic value in our group of complicated AAU patients, but it eases the decision about necessary diagnostics and treatment. PMID: 33014440 [PubMed]
