Mydriasis as a Secondary Effect in Patients With HLA‐B27–Associated Uveitis

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
HLA‐B27‐associated acute anterior uveitis causes significant inflammation of the iris and anterior chamber, which disrupts normal parasympathetic control and results in increased sympathetic tone leading to pupil dilation (mydriasis). This finding can sometimes resemble herpetic uveitis, making a clinical context and careful evaluation crucial for ...
