  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We performed tuberculin skin test in 415 patients with uveitis. As inclusion criteria in the study, uveitis had to be in its active stage within one month of occurrence and no systemic medication, including corticosteroids, had been given. The skin test was negative in 38% of the series, positive in 59%, and strongly positive in 3%. It was positive in 100% of 15 cases of Behçet disease and 8 cases of tuberculous uveitis, 75% of 4 cases of Eales disease, 38% in 69 cases of sarcoidosis, and 0% in 3 cases of acute retinal necrosis. It was positive in 70% of human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I ) uveitis. This incidence was significantly higher than that in sarcoidosis. These findings show the usefulness of tuberculin skin test, although it is a classical one, as ancillary in the differential diagnosis of various uveitis entities.
