Assessment of the degree of inflammatory reaction in uveitis: diagnostic capabilities of clinical methods

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of the uvea demonstrate a high incidence and a significant prevalence among people of working age. Uveitis complications often lead to blindness and low vision in patients of various age groups. Diagnostics and monitoring the efficacy of uveitis therapy requires the use of quantitative criteria to assess the degree of inflammatory reaction. The aim of this review is to analyze the informative value and accuracy of various clinical methods for subjective and objective assessment of the inflammatory reaction in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye in uveitis. To assess the inflammatory reaction in uveitis in everyday clinical practice, biomicroscopy is most often used, which is characterized by subjectivity associated with the level of qualification of the ophthalmologist. Other clinical methods, such as fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography-angiography, have high sensitivity and informative value along with independence from the subjective impression of the examiner. However, the first of them is invasive, and the second is still not available to a wide range of practicing ophthalmologists today, especially in the “angio” mode. Laser flare photometry is of special importance in the diagnosis of uveitis. It is both a non-invasive and sensitive method that makes it possible to obtain quantitative indicators characterizing the activity of uveal inflammation. The prospects for the application and development of this method are important both for clinical practice and for research purposes.
