The most common age group was 6\u201310 years (46%). Of the included patients, 36 (55.4%) were male and 29 (44.6%) were female. Presentation was bilateral in 39 (60%) and unilateral in 26 (40%). Anterior uveitis was seen in 19 (29.23%), intermediate in 18 (27.69%), posterior in 16 (24.62%), and panuveitis in 12 (18.46%) patients. There were 2 cases of masquerades. Non-infectious uveitis was the most commonly seen, in 48 (73.84%) of total cases, among which 21 (43.75%) were idiopathic and 7 (14.58%) were associated with juvenile idiopathic (JIA) arthritis. Infectious uveitis was present in 17 (26.15%); the most common etiology was toxoplasmosis. Baseline visual acuity was low in 22 (33.84%) children. After initiating treatment, 37 (56.92%) showed improvement in vision and 10 (15.38%) had worsening of vision. Intraocular pressure (IOP) rise was seen in 5 (7.69%) children; 51 (78.46%) children required medical management and 16 (24.61%) children required surgical intervention; 46 (70.76%) children had uveitis related complications out of which most of them 30 (65.21%) were present at baseline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anterior and intermediate uveitis were the most common types observed in our study. Toxoplasmosis was the most common type of infectious uveitis and JIA the most common cause in non-infectious type apart from idiopathic uveitis. Posterior uveitis had low visual acuity at baseline and follow-up. Children presented to us with poor visual acuity and complications at baseline, hence an early referral to a tertiary eye hospital and management accordingly can improve the quality of vision and visual rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/25158414211027707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]],"date-time":"2021-07-30T07:30:18Z","timestamp":1627630218000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Pediatric uveitis: a retrospective analysis at a tertiary eye care hospital in South India"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Sowmya","family":"Raveendra Murthy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Ophthalmology, Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0886-0841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sailatha","family":"Ganesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Retina & Uvea, Sankara Eye Hospital, Varthur Road, Kundalahalli, Bangalore 560037, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minija","family":"C.K.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Retina & Uvea, Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nidhi","family":"Dubey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Retina & Uvea, Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-25158414211027707","first-page":"11211128.","volume":"9","author":"Engelhard S","journal-title":"Clin Ophthalmol (Auckland, N.Z.)"},{"key":"bibr2-25158414211027707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12886-019-1139-5"},{"key":"bibr3-25158414211027707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-015-0128-9"},{"key":"bibr4-25158414211027707","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dajee K, Rossen J, Bratton M, et al.
