Ninety-one (6.3%) of the 1422 patients followed in our uvea clinic were diagnosed with HLA-B27-associated uveitis. HLA-B27-associated uveitis is characterized by acute, recurring sudden-onset iridocyclitis with a moderate to severe amount of fibrin and cells in the anterior chamber, and is easily treatable. Visual prognosis is good despite the complications.
