Abstract

Of 17 subjects who developed severe anterior nongranulomatous uveitis during or immediately after testing with topical corticosteroid preparations, 14 (82%) had a positive fluorescent-treponemal-antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test. No association was found between corticosteroid-induced uveitis and any specific HL-A locus.
