Relationship between vitreous interleukin-6 levels and vitreous particles findings on widefield optical coherence tomography in posterior uveitis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate relationship between vitreous interleukin-6 levels and vitreous particles findings on widefield optical coherence tomography in posterior uveitis.

Methods

This retrospective study examined vitreous inflammatory cells (hyperreflective particles) of posterior uveitis on widefield optical coherence tomography (WOCT). We examined the number of hyperreflective particles (possibility of vitreous inflammatory cells) observed on WOCT and the correlations with interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. The relationship between vitreous IL-6 levels and image findings from WOCT from 37 eyes (34 patients) with posterior uveitis were analyzed. Mean patient age was 63.4±15.7 years. (Mean± standard deviation) IL-6 concentration in vitreous humor was 79.9±7380.9 pg/mL Uveitis was i
