Background/aims: Uveitis can be infectious or non-infectious, and can also be either a local eye disease or a manifestation of systemic rheumatologic disorders. The clinical presentation of different uveitic diseases, can be similar, which makes the diagnosis and treatment a challenge. We investigate the clinical features and complications of different sarcoidosis uveitis diseases in the Chinese population in Taiwan.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all patients who had been diagnosed with sarcoidosis uveitis in the national insurance database in Taiwan.
Results: To be presented

Patients with rheumatic disease-related uveitis had a higher recurrent rate and the more frequent posterior synechiae than patients without rheumatic diseases. Besides, some specific infectious disease, especially viral, can be seen in Taiwan
