Median age at onset of the uveitis was 8.9 years (range 0\u200a\u2013\u200a16). Anterior uveitis was the most frequent presentation (45.1%) followed by posterior uveitis in 26.2%, intermediate uveitis in 23.3%, and panuveitis in 5.4%. The inflammation was most frequently bilateral and non-granulomatous. A systemic inflammatory disease was found in 34% of the cases and an infectious cause in 24%.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion The repartition of the location of the uveitis was similar to previous reports from Western countries. Uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most frequent etiology related to a systemic disease in children. An infectious cause was found in 24% of our patients, which is a greater proportion than in adult cohorts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1384-0351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]],"date-time":"2021-04-14T23:22:29Z","timestamp":1618442549000},"page":"469-473","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Epidemiology of Childhood Uveitis in a Tertiary Care Center: A 20-Year Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"238","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2521-1333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florence","family":"Hoogewoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocular Immunology, Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judith","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocular Immunology, Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Rossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocular Immunology, Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Koryllou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Immuno-rheumatology, CHUV, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Guex-Crosier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocular Immunology, Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sakina","family":"Ezziat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocular Immunology, Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Hofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Immuno-rheumatology, CHUV, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1373-9635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Guex-Crosier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"491","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2003.06.014","article-title":"Incidence and prevalence of uveitis in Northern California;
