The Infectious Uveitis Treatment Algorithm Network (TITAN) Report 1-global current practice patterns for the management of Herpes Simplex Virus and Varicella Zoster Virus anterior uveitis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To present current expert practice patterns and to formulate a consensus for the management of HSV and VZV AU by uveitis specialists worldwide.

Methods

A two-round online modified Delphi survey with masking of the study team was conducted. Responses were collected from 76 international uveitis experts from 21 countries. Current practices in the diagnosis and treatment of HSV and VZV AU were identified. A working group (The Infectious Uveitis Treatment Algorithm Network [TITAN]) developed data into consensus guidelines. Consensus is defined as a particular response towards a specific question meeting ≥75% of agreement or IQR ≤ 1 when a Likert scale is used.

Results

Unilaterality, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), decreased corneal sensation and diffuse or sect
