Uveitis was bilateral in 51.7% of the patients. Anterior uveitis was the most common type, followed by posterior uveitis, affecting 34.4% and 25.6% of the study cohort, respectively. About one-third of our patients were beneath the age of 18, and among that group, no specific etiology of uveitis could be determined in about a quarter of the patients by the end of the study period, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis was the most common disease entity.Conclusion: In conclusion, the present report attempted to illustrate the most common causes of uveitis in Upper Egypt. Tuberculosis followed by sarcoidosis were the two leading causes of uveitis in our group of patients.Keywords: Egypt, uveitis, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, idiopathicAbd El Latif ENooreldin AShikhoun Ahmed MElmoddather MEl Gendy WDove Medical PressarticleegyptuveitistuberculosissarcoidosisidiopathicOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 195-199 (2021)
