Anterior uveitis was the most common type. Ankylosing spondylitis was an important systemic comorbidity in the present study, affecting 27.4% of our patients. Cataract was the most frequent ocular complication. By the conclusion of the study, 6.1% of the affected eyes had a BSCVA poorer than 20/200.Conclusion: The clinical profile of HLA-B27-associated uveitis in our cohort of Egyptian patients is similar to that reported from other regions of the world. In our study, a relatively high rate of cataract was observed.Keywords: Egypt, uveitis, HLA-B27, epidemiology, hypopyonAbd El Latif EAbdelhalim ASDove Medical Pressarticleegyptuveitishla-b27epidemiologyhypopyon.OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3821-3828 (2020)
