REGALON SANCHO, Dagmar María et al. Uveitis and Ocular Inflammations Associated with COVID-19. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.3 Epub 01-Set-2023. ISSN 1561-3070.
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease is caused by adult respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was declared a pandemic disease by the World Health Organization on January 11, 2020. Among its ophthalmologic clinical manifestations, ocular surface disorders stand out, of which follicular conjunctivitis is the most frequent found in infected patients. Similarly, uveitis, scleritis and episcleritis have been reported in their various forms of presentation preceding or accompanying the general clinical manifestations of the disease, as well as in the post-COVID-19 period. The aim of this review was to search for information to establish the relationship between uveitis and COVID-19, although it has not been recognized as one of the most frequently reported ocular manifestations.
