    Abstract Purpose: The 0.18 mg fluocinolone acetonide implant (FAi) is marketed for up to 36 months for treatment of noninfectious uveitis. An additional short-term corticosteroid burst prior to the 0.18 mg FAi, followed by attempt at long-term inflammation control with the 0.18 mg FAi may be beneficial given the low dose of the implant. We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing this treatment approach at our institution to determine its efficacy.
    Methods: Patients who received a corticosteroid burst followed by the 0.18 mg FAi with at least 6-month follow-up post 0.18 mg FAi were included. The primary outcome, treatment escalation (defined as worsening inflammation requiring escalation of therapy), was modeled using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Secondary outcomes included cystoid macular edema (CME), central macular thickness, retinal vasculitis, visual acuity, anterior chamber and vitreous cell, use of systemic therapy, use of corticosteroid drops, IOP, number of IOP lowering medications, need for glaucoma surgery, need for cataract surgery, and additional local corticosteroids.
    Results: 32 eyes were included (mean follow-up: 19.8 months). Prior to corticosteroid burst, 37.5% were on systemic therapy, 53% had CME, and 25% had retinal vasculitis. At FAi visit, CME had decreased to 18.8%. Mean time to treatment escalation after FAi was 20.3 months (95% CI 14.8-25.7 months). No patient discontinued systemic therapy and on average 15.0% of eyes required additional local corticosteroids at each follow-up interval.
    Conclusions: This treatment approach demonstrates that the 0.18 mg FAi is a useful adjuvant for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis but may not be adequate as solo therapy.

    Abstract Background: We examined the racial and ethnic distribution of patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) in a Midwestern US population through a retrospective chart review of patients with VKH seen in a tertiary referral centre between 2012 and 2017. All patients were diagnosed by one uveitis specialist (DAG). We identified 32 patients with VKH seen during this time period. The mean age at diagnosis was 37.7 ± 15.7 years, 7 were male, 25 female. Mean follow-up was 36.7 ± 21.7 months. Nine patients reported themselves as White non-Hispanic, (28.1%), 9 as Black/African-American (28.1%), 2 as Asian (6.3%) and 9 as Hispanic or Latino (28.1%). Three patients (9.4%) were of Middle-Eastern origin. The 2010 census results for race and ethnicity in the state of Illinois were: 71.5% White, 14.5% Black/African-American, 4.6% Asian, and 6.7% as Some Other Race. From the total population 15.8% reported themselves as Hispanic or Latino (of any race).
    Conclusions: VKH was much more frequent among white non-Hispanic patients (28.1%) and Black/African-American patients (28.1%) in our patient population than in previous reports from the US (3-14% and 4-23% respectively). While Hispanic patients in this series were over represented in the VKH population compared with the overall census data, the percentage of VKH patients in this series who were White non-Hispanic and Hispanic was the same. The diagnosis of VKH should be considered in any patient with the appropriate clinical features, regardless of race or ethnicity.

    Abstract Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a disorder that was originally described in 1975. The syndrome, although diagnosed in all age ranges, is more frequently reported in pediatric patients. Diagnosis can be difficult, and its clinical spectrum is still being defined. In this article, we review the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, clinical findings, prognosis, and treatment of both the ocular and renal disease. We comment on the current difficulties in diagnosis and study of the disease, its expanding clinical spectrum, and treatment strategies in pediatric patients.

    Abstract The human intestinal microbiome is composed of hundreds of species and has recently been recognized as an important source of immune homeostasis. While dysbiosis, an altered microbiome from the normal core microbiome, has been associated with both intestinal and extraintestinal autoimmune disorders, including uveitis, causality has been difficult to establish. There are four proposed mechanisms of how the gut microbiome may influence the development of uveitis: molecular mimicry, imbalance of regulatory and effector T cells, increased intestinal permeability, and loss of intestinal metabolites. This review summarizes current literature on both animal and human studies that establish the link between dysbiosis and the development of uveitis, as well as provides evidence for the above mechanisms. Current studies provide valuable mechanistic insights as well as identify potential therapeutic targets. However, study limitations and the wide variability in the intestinal microbiome among populations and diseases make a specific targeted therapy difficult to establish. Further longitudinal clinical studies are required to identify any potential therapeutic that targets the intestinal microbiome.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe the frequency of uveitis recurrences in patients with non-infectious uveitis treated with the biosimilar infliximab-dyyb.
    Design: Retrospective case series.
    Methods: Records of uveitis patients treated with the biosimilar infliximab-dyyb between 2016 and 2022 at two institutions were reviewed. Data extracted included patient demographics, diagnosis, previous originator infliximab use, additional immunosuppression medications, infliximab-dyyb use, reason for switch, disease activity, and follow-up time.
    Results: A total of 14 patients were identified. Seven patients were switched from originator infliximab to a biosimilar for nonmedical/non-ocular reasons (insurance prompted the switch). One patient was started directly on infliximab-dyyb due to active joint disease despite well-controlled uveitis. None of these eight patients developed inflammation after the switch. Six patients were started directly on infliximab-dyyb due to poorly controlled uveitis. Of these, five patients achieved disease quiescence during follow-up. The mean dose of originator was 1.79 mg/kg/week, with a median dosing schedule of 4 weeks prior to therapy with infliximab-dyyb. The mean final infliximab-dyyb dosage was 1.81 mg/kg/week, with a median dosing schedule of 4 weeks.
    Conclusion: Infliximab-dyyb appears to be efficacious in achieving and maintaining uveitis control.

    Abstract We present a case of a 44-year-old man with biopsy-proven primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL), who developed multiple ocular recurrences over the course of six years. Recurrences were imaged with color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, and optical coherence tomography. This case demonstrates a single patient with a myriad of imaging findings of PVRL as well as response to a variety of therapeutic interventions.

    Observations: A 17-year-old male presented when routine optometry screening detected two deep, yellowish-white lesions in the left fundus. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging confirmed a choroidal mass with extension through Bruch's membrane into the subretinal space and a small amount of subretinal fluid. Fluorescein angiography was suggestive of CNVM. There were no clinical findings of intraocular inflammation, and the patient was initially lost to follow-up. Eight weeks after last follow-up, the patient presented to the emergency department with fatigue, mild respiratory symptoms, and abdominal pain for the last month. Imaging revealed a mediastinal mass with hilar extension and innumerable nodules throughout the lung and spleen. Serum
    Conclusions and importance: We present a patient with choroidal lesions in the setting of disseminated systemic histoplasmosis infection and characterize a lesion using multimodal imaging. The presentation of acute chorioretinal lesions in the setting of biopsy proven systemic

    Abstract Purpose: To report the use of the dexamethasone (Ozurdex, Allergan Inc) intravitreal implant in the management of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
    Methods: Observational case report.
    Results: A 63-year-old woman presented with a 10-year history of progressing bilateral, although asymmetric, visual impairment and scotomata with clinical and imaging findings compatible with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. The right eye had recently progressed rapidly until macular involvement occurred with loss of visual acuity. Under our observation, progression toward the fovea in the left eye occurred, Ozurdex intravitreal implant treatment was offered and administered. Autofluorescence imaging documented resolution of the hyperautofluorescent borders and slight regression of the involved retina. An injection was repeated every 6 months for 3 injections, and after a follow-up period, 20 months after the first and 8 months after the last injection, no further signs of progression were observed in her left eye.
    Conclusion: The dexamethasone implant effectively achieved regression of active disease in a patient with longstanding, progressive acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe clinical features of the youngest patient with well-documented HLA-A29-positive birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR).
    Observations: A 17-year-old female presented with poor night vision and floaters. Examination revealed bilateral vitritis, retinal vasculitis, and numerous cream-colored ovoid lesions in the fundus. Fluorescein angiography revealed bilateral optic disc leakage, large vessel leakage and diffuse capillary ferning. There were hundreds of small hypocyanescent spots evenly distributed in the posterior pole of both eyes on indocyanine green angiography. Workup was positive for HLA-A29.2. Systemic immunosuppression with adalimumab 40mg/0.4mL was initiated every two weeks and escalated to weekly dosing. The patient's early age of disease onset prompted evaluation of her parents. The mother's exam was normal and she was HLA-A29 negative. Examination of the father revealed peripapillary choroidal lesions as well as hypocyanescent spots on ICG. HLA-typing revealed the presence of HLA-A29.2.
    Conclusions and importance: BCR rarely occurs in the pediatric population. We present the youngest patient with well-documented BCR in the literature to highlight that this disease deserves consideration even in young patients. Interestingly, choroidal lesions were also found in an asymptomatic parent with HLA-A29.2 positivity.
