Abstract

Many conditions, both infectious and noninfectious, may lead to inflammation of the retina and choroid. The entities discussed in this chapter are presented to provide a broad survey of conditions encountered by the uveitis and retinal specialist, but this list is by no means comprehensive. A nuanced approach that considers medical and ocular history, constitutional symptoms, ocular manifestations, and targeted ancillary testing is required to provide patients with appropriate therapies and follow-up. Close collaboration with infectious disease specialists, rheumatologists, and other medical professionals is usually a critical aspect of care in these often complicated cases.
