Uveitis in the Immunocompromised Patient

  • Chapter
Intraocular Inflammation

  • 149 Accesses

Abstract

Ophthalmologists are increasingly confronted with patients who develop ocular complications in the setting of immune deficiency. This is due, in large part, to medical advances that have improved the treatment and prolonged the survival of patients with a compromised immune system. Advances in the management of immune compromise-associated complications and infections, intensified chemotherapeutic regimens, and increasing numbers of organ transplantations along with prolonged survival of transplant recipients have all contributed to the survival of seriously ill, often severely immunocompromised, patients.
