Uveitis Made Simple Workup & Management (2010) by S R Rathinam PDF

Description

Dear Colleagues, In ophthalmic practice, patients with vision-threatening uveitis come across as the most difficult patients to diagnose and treat. This is reflected in the dearth of “true uveitis specialists,” even at major medical centers, and the fact that many uveitis patients are cared for reluctantly by general ophthal- mologists. In this issue of AIOS CME series titled “Uveitis Made Simple”, Dr. S.R. Rathinam, Head of Uveitis Service, Aravind Eye Hospital & PG Institute Ophthalmology, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, and the co-authors have tried to simplify the approach towards managing a uveitis patient. They have touched upon the clinical workup, investigations and management strate- gies in a comprehensive but concise manner. Also few rare case scenarios have been discussed highlighting the varied nature of presentation of the disease. This issue is valuable for post graduates as well as ophthalmologists and can be used as a reference for assistance in diagnosis and treatment of uveitis. I would like to laud the efforts of Dr. S.R. Rathinam, Dr. N. Venu, Dr. Bala Murugan, Dr. Manohar Babu, Dr. Yoshish Kamath and Dr. T.R. Sathya in compiling a practical guide on uveitis. Dr. S. Natarajan Chairman, ARC
