Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as a Marker of Activity in Behcet's Uveitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behcet's disease (BD) is an immune-mediated disease with ocular involvement in ~70% cases. Clinical assessment of uveitis activity can be challenging in special situations. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), a novel biomarker, may aid assessment but remains unstudied in BD uveitis.

Objective

To evaluate the levels of SII and other potential inflammatory biomarkers derived from full blood count (FBC) in patients with active uveitis in BD.

Methods

This is a case-control study that included 3 groups; an active uveitis group with a confirmed diagnosis of BD, an inactive disease group with BD without any activity for at least 3 months, and a control group of age and sex-matched healthy adults. Full blood count was done for all participants from a veno
