“…7, 30,34,36,62,63 Conversely, sarcoidosis is responsible for about 7 to 27% of cases of panuveitis and is one of the most important systemic association in Europe and Japan, along with Behçet's disease and tuberculous uveitis. 16,25,55 Signs of uveitis may be absent; thus, a patient with sarcoidosis-associated "silent uveitis" may develop permanent ocular damage before the diagnosis is made. In the series by Rothova et al, 29 of 121 patients (24%) with proven sarcoidosis were diagnosed with uveitis, and 10 of them (8%) were diagnosed in the absence of ocular complaints at the first ophthalmological screening.…”
