Meta-Analysis Review
BACKGROUND
Acute toxoplasma retinochoroiditis causes transient symptoms of ocular discomfort and may lead to permanent visual loss. Antibiotic treatment aims primarily to reduce the risk of permanent visual loss, recurrent retinochoroiditis, and the severity and duration of acute symptoms. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.
OBJECTIVES
To compare the effects of antibiotic treatment versus placebo or no treatment for toxoplasma retinochoroiditis.
SEARCH METHODS
We searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision group Trials Register) (2016, Issue 1), Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid MEDLINE In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE Daily, Ovid OLDMEDLINE (January 1946 to February 2016), EMBASE (January 1980 to February 2016), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature Database (LILACS) (January 1982 to February 2016), the ISRCTN registry (www.isrctn.com/editAdvancedSearch), ClinicalTrials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov), and the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (www.who.int/ictrp/search/en). We did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. We last searched the electronic databases on 22 February 2016. We searched the reference lists of identified articles and contacted pharmaceutical companies for unpublished trials.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We included randomised controlled trials that compared any antibiotic treatment against placebo or no treatment. We excluded trials that included immunocompromised participants. We considered any antibiotic treatment known to be active against Toxoplasma gondii. Antibiotic treatment could be given in any dose orally, by intramuscular injection, by intravenous infusion, or by intravitreal injection.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The primary outcomes for this review were visual acuity at least three months after treatment and risk of recurrent retinochoroiditis. Secondary outcomes were improvement in symptoms and signs of intraocular inflammation, size of lesion, and adverse events. We used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane.
MAIN RESULTS
Four trials that randomised a total of 268 participants met the inclusion criteria. In all four studies antibiotic was administered orally.One study conducted in Brazil in both adults and children compared trimethoprim-sulfamexacocol over 20 months to no treatment and was judged to be at high risk of performance, detection, and attrition bias. The other three studies compared antibiotic treatment to placebo. We judged these three studies to be at a mixture of low or unclear risk of bias due to poor reporting. One study conducted in the US in adults studied pyrimethamine-trisulfapyrimidine for eight weeks; one study conducted in the UK in children and adults evaluated pyrimethamine for four weeks; and one study conducted in Brazil in adults investigated trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 12 months. In the last study, all participants had active retinochoroiditis and were treated with antibiotics for 45 days prior to randomisation to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole versus placebo.Only the study in Brazil of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole over 12 months, in participants with healed lesions, reported the effect of treatment on visual acuity. People treated with antibiotics may have a similar change in visual acuity compared with people treated with placebo at one year (mean difference -1.00 letters, 95% confidence interval (CI) -7.93 to 5.93 letters; 93 participants; low-quality evidence).Treatment with antibiotics probably reduces the risk of recurrent retinochoroiditis compared with placebo (risk ratio (RR) 0.26, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.63; 227 participants; 3 studies; I(2) = 0%; moderate-quality evidence); similar results were seen for acute and chronic retinochoroiditis.The UK study of pyrimethamine for four weeks reported an improvement in intraocular inflammation in treated compared with control participants (RR 1.76, 95% CI 0.98 to 3.19; 29 participants; low-quality evidence). The study in Brazil of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 12 months stated that the severity of inflammation was higher in the comparator group when compared to the antibiotic-treated group but did not provide further details. In the US study of pyrimethamine-trisulfapyrimidine for eight weeks intraocular inflammation had almost completely resolved by eight weeks in all participants, however in this study all participants received steroid treatment.Two studies (UK and US studies) reported an increased risk of adverse events in treated participants. These were a fall in haemoglobin, leucocyte, and platelet count, nausea, loss of appetite, rash, and arthralgia.
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS
Treatment with antibiotics probably reduces the risk of recurrent toxoplasma retinochoroiditis, but there is currently no good evidence that this leads to better visual outcomes. However, absence of evidence of effect is not the same as evidence of no effect. Further trials of people with acute and chronic toxoplasma retinochoroiditis affecting any part of the retina are required to determine the effects of antibiotic treatment on visual outcomes.

PURPOSE
Uveitis is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide. This study aimed to summarize the pattern of uveitis in Iran through a systematic review.
METHODS
This review was conducted according to the guidelines for systematic reviews in the following four steps: literature search, study selection and assessment, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and statistical analysis.
RESULTS
One hundred and fifteen articles were identified by an encyclopedic literature search, and three independent investigators examined them according to the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eventually, 109 manuscripts were retrieved and six cross-sectional studies covering 3,567 patients were included and reviewed. According to the results, the mean age of patients was 40 years, and sex was not a statistically significant predisposing factor. The most common anatomical pattern of involvement was anterior uveitis, and the prevalence of the other three types of uveitis, including middle, posterior, and pan-uveitis, were almost equal. Overall, the most common etiologies of uveitis in the Iranian population were idiopathic uveitis, toxoplasmosis, Behcet's syndrome, and Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis.
CONCLUSION
This study depicted the pattern of uveitis in the Iranian society; this can help physicians in the diagnostic approach, management, and treatment of patients.

Review
OBJECTIVES
To review the current available literature on the mutual effect of pregnancy or contraceptives and Behçet's disease (BD) in order to guide our patients more wisely before they take contraceptives or decide to conceive.
METHODS
We performed a systematic review of the literature regarding the above issues using PubMed, Cochrane and EMBase databases.
RESULTS
We have found 21 case reports and 11 series dealing with the mutual effect of pregnancy or contraceptives and Behçet's disease and 5 case reports dealing with BD and contraceptives. In most cases the course of BD was ameliorated or unchanged during pregnancy. The outcome of pregnancy in BD patients was poorer than that in healthy individuals. Contraceptives have various effects on the course of BD.
CONCLUSIONS
Despite the above impression, it is quite difficult to predict the course of the disease during pregnancy in an individual BD patient. Patients with BD and a history of thrombosis are recommended to avoid contraceptive pills.

Review
BACKGROUND
Cytomegalovirus can cause ocular anterior uveitis with ocular hypertension. Basis on the therapy, ocular pressure usually can be controlled. We report a case of a man who had unilateral cytomegalovirus anterior uveitis with refractory glaucoma during the process of treatment.
CASE PRESENTATION
A 57-year-old man who was diagnosed Posner-Schlossman syndrome and was admitted for repeatly attacks of raised IOP in left eye for 4 months. We found the cytomegalovirus -DNA was high (1800 copies/ml) in his aqueous. After systemic used of antiviral drug accompany with topical used of anti-inflammation, anti-glaucoma agents and genciclovir gel, the ocular pressure was dropped to normal. While the pressure elevated again in a month after stopping systemic antiviral treatment. Furthermore, the second test showed cytomegalovirus in aqueous humor decreased to 526 copies/ml. Intravenous drugs to antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-glaucoma were applied, but the ocular pressure was still high. In the progression of glaucomatous damage in the eye, glaucoma surgery was operated with no cytomegalovirus was detected. At last, the postoperative ocular pressure has been controlled.
CONCLUSIONS
CMV infection is not rare. Patients have unilateral mild anterior inflammation with relapsed attacks of elevated intraocular pressure should be considered for CMV infection. We found that concurrent use of systemic and topical ganciclovir in a short period could reduce ocular CMV significantly, while ocular hypertension recurred. The antiviral treatment should be individualized. Glaucoma surgery could be offered to protect CEC loss and glaucomatous damage.

Review
INTRODUCTION
Behçet disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis involving vessels from any size with various clinical features. Most BD cases are multifactorial and associated with the HLA B51 antigen. In rare and severe early onset cases, dominant Mendelian transmission has been linked to mutations in the TNFAIP3 gene encoding A20. Herein, we propose a systematic review of the literature about the haploinsufficiency A20 (HA20) published cases.
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Our review of the 45 cases of HA20 from literature highlights the similarities and the differences between this genetic auto-inflammatory disease and classical BD. HA20 looks like BD if we consider recurrent oral (87%) and genital (67%) ulcers, arthralgia or arthritis (42%), skin involvement (53%) such as erythema nodosum or abdominal symptoms (60%) such as abdominal pain, digestive ulcers or diarrhea. However, HA20 differs from classical BD because its geographical distribution is ubiquitous, sex ratio is inversed (one man for two women), first symptoms occur in early childhood (median age = 5.5 years; interquartile range: 1-10) instead of adulthood, recurrent fever is common (62%) unlike classical BD, HLA B51 antigen is uncommon and abdominal symptoms are over-represented compared to classical BD. In addition, response to colchicine in HA20 is inconstant (24%) unlike classical BD.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
High fever flares and digestive involvement starting in early childhood seem to be hallmarks of HA20 clinical features. Response to colchicine is unpredictable and biotherapies like anti-TNFα and anti IL1 appear to be treatments of choice, like for other auto-inflammatory diseases. Prospective description of larger cohort of HA20 cases is needed to understand better when this disease must be looked for and how to treat these patients.

Review
BACKGROUND
Behçet's disease is a chronic inflammatory vasculitis that can affect multiple systems. Mucocutaneous involvement is common, as is the involvement of many other systems such as the central nervous system and skin. Behç̧et's disease can cause significant morbidity, such as loss of sight, and can be life threatening. The frequency of oral ulceration in Behçet's disease is thought to be 97% to 100%. The presence of mouth ulcers can cause difficulties in eating, drinking, and speaking leading to a reduction in quality of life. There is no cure for Behçet's disease and therefore treatment of the oral ulcers that are associated with Behçet's disease is palliative.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of interventions on the pain, episode duration, and episode frequency of oral ulcers and on quality of life for patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS)-type ulceration associated with Behçet's disease.
SEARCH METHODS
We undertook electronic searches of the Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register (to 4 October 2013); the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2013, Issue 9); MEDLINE via Ovid (1946 to 4 October 2013); EMBASE via Ovid (1980 to 4 October 2013); CINAHL via EBSCO (1980 to 4 October 2013); and AMED via Ovid (1985 to 4 October 2013). We searched the US National Institutes of Health trials register (http://clinicaltrials.gov) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Trials Registry Platform for ongoing trials. There were no restrictions on language or date of publication in the searches of the electronic databases. We contacted authors when necessary to obtain additional information.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that looked at pre-specified oral outcome measures to assess the efficacy of interventions for mouth ulcers in Behçet's disease. The oral outcome measures included pain, episode duration, episode frequency, safety, and quality of life. Trials were not restricted by outcomes alone.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
All studies meeting the inclusion criteria underwent data extraction and an assessment of risk of bias, independently by two review authors and using a pre-standardised data extraction form. We used standard methodological procedures expected by The Cochrane Collaboration.
MAIN RESULTS
A total of 15 trials (n = 888 randomised participants) were included, 13 were placebo controlled and three were head to head (two trials had more than two treatment arms). Eleven of the trials were conducted in Turkey, two in Japan, one in Iran and one in the UK. Most trials used the International Study Group criteria for Behçet's disease. Eleven different interventions were assessed. The interventions were grouped into two categories, topical and systemic. Only one study was assessed as being at low risk of bias. It was not possible to carry out a meta-analysis. The quality of the evidence ranged from moderate to very low and there was insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of any included intervention with regard to pain, episode duration, or episode frequency associated with oral ulcers, or safety of the interventions.
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS
Due to the heterogeneity of trials including trial design, choice of intervention, choice and timing of outcome measures, it was not possible to carry out a meta-analysis. Several interventions show promise and future trials should be planned and reported according to the CONSORT guidelines. Whilst the primary aim of many trials for Behç̧et's disease is not necessarily reduction of oral ulceration, reporting of oral ulcers in these studies should be standardised and pre-specified in the methodology. The use of a core outcome set for oral ulcer trials would be beneficial.

Review
BACKGROUND
Acute toxoplasma retinochoroiditis causes transient symptoms of ocular discomfort and may lead to permanent visual loss. Antibiotic treatment primarily aims to reduce the risk of permanent visual loss, recurrent retinochoroiditis, and the severity and duration of acute symptoms. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this review was to compare the effects of antibiotics versus placebo or no treatment for toxoplasma retinochoroiditis.
SEARCH STRATEGY
We searched the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register - CENTRAL/CCTR, which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Specialised Register (Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2001), MEDLINE (1966 to August 2001), EMBASE (1980 to September 2001), Dissertation Abstracts (1861 to June 2001), LILACS (1982 to 1998), Pascal (1984 to March 2000), proceedings of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (1980 to 2001), international symposia on uveitis, and reference lists of review articles. Pharmaceutical companies were contacted for unpublished trials.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We included randomised controlled trials that compared any systemic antibiotic treatment against placebo or no treatment. Trials that included immunocompromised patients were excluded.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The primary outcomes for this review were visual acuity at least three months after treatment and risk of recurrent retinochoroiditis. Secondary outcomes were improvement in symptoms and signs of intraocular inflammation, size of lesion and adverse events. Effect measures were pooled using a random effects model.
MAIN RESULTS
Three trials, which randomised a total of 173 participants, met the inclusion criteria. All trials were methodologically poor. None reported the effect of treatment on visual acuity. Two studies reported results for recurrent retinochoroiditis: one (124 participants) found a significant reduction in participants with chronic recurrent disease who were treated for 14 months: relative risk 0.28 (95% confidence interval 0.10 to 0.78); the other (20 participants) found no evidence of an effect in participants with acute toxoplasma retinochoroiditis (relative risk 1.00, 95% confidence interval 0.07 to 13.87). Two studies reported an improvement in intraocular inflammation in treated compared with untreated participants and one study reported no difference. Two studies found an increased risk of adverse events in treated participants.
REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS
There is a lack of evidence to support routine antibiotic treatment for acute toxoplasma retinochoroiditis. There is weak evidence to suggest that long-term treatment of patients with chronic recurrent toxoplasma retinochoroiditis may reduce recurrence. Placebo controlled trials of patients with acute and chronic toxoplasma retinochoroiditis affecting any part of the retina are required to determine the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.

Review
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the outcome of macular hole (MH) treatment in eyes with uveitis.
DATA SOURCE
We searched PubMed and Embase databases from inception through August 15, 2021.
STUDY SELECTION
We included eyes with MHs secondary to uveitis that were managed medically or underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). We excluded eyes with idiopathic MH and those secondary to causes other than uveitis.
RESULTS
Of 27 articles, we identified 86 eyes with MH secondary to uveitis that received either conservative medical treatment alone or PPV with adequate follow-up. The mean (± SD) age of patients included in this review was 46.6 (± 16.8) years; 60.5% were males. The most common etiology of uveitis was Behçet's disease (34.6%) and toxoplasmosis (19.7%). The most common anatomical location of uveitis was posterior (59.3%) followed by panuveitis (35.2%). The mean (± SD) baseline LogMAR vision was 1.1 (± 0.5). Conservative medical treatment was employed in 34.9%, while PPV was performed in 65.1% of eyes. Overall, the mean (SD) LogMAR vision improved from 1.1 (± 0.5) at baseline to 0.7 (± 0.5) after treatment. Inflammation-related MHs were closed in 40% of eyes after conservative therapy and in 87.5% of eyes after PPV. Visual improvement occurred in most eyes (83.9%) that had successful closure of their MH.
CONCLUSIONS
Visual improvement occurs in most eyes that had successful closure of their inflammation-related MH. Conservative medical control of uveitis may lead to closure of inflammation-related MHs and is an important step prior to surgery, if required. Surgical intervention for inflammation-related MHs is associated with good functional and anatomical results.

Management of skin, mucosa and joint involvement of Behçet's syndrome: A systematic review for update of the EULAR recommendations for the management of Behçet's syndrome.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this systematic review was to inform the update of European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Recommendations for the management of Behçet's syndrome (BS), on the evidence for the treatment of skin, mucosa and joint involvement of BS.
METHODS
A systematic literature search, data extraction, statistical analyses and assessment of the quality of evidence were performed according to a pre-specified protocol using the PRISMA guidelines. Studies that assessed the efficacy of an intervention in comparison to an active comparator or placebo for oral ulcers, genital ulcers, papulopustular lesions, nodular lesions or arthritis were included. Where possible, risk ratios were calculated for binary outcomes and mean difference for continuous outcomes.
RESULTS
Among the 3927 references that were screened, 37 were included in the analyses. Twenty-seven of these assessed mucocutaneous and 17 assessed joint involvement. Twenty-one of these studies were randomised controlled trials (RCTs). RCTs with colchicine, azathioprine, interferon-alpha, thalidomide, etanercept and apremilast showed beneficial results with some differences according to lesion type and gender. These agents were generally well tolerated with few adverse events causing withdrawal from the study.
CONCLUSIONS
RCTs comprised more than a half (21/37, 57%) of the sources included in the evidence synthesis related to skin, mucosa and joint involvement applicable for the EULAR Recommendations for the management of BS. Differences in the outcome measures that were used across the included studies often made it difficult to combine and compare the results.

Meta-Analysis
Incidence of anterior uveitis in patients with axial spondyloarthritis treated with anti-TNF or anti-IL17A: a systematic review, a pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
BACKGROUND
Anterior uveitis (AU) is the most frequent extra-articular feature of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). We aimed to assess and compare the incidence of AU in axSpA patients treated with anti-TNF or anti-IL17A.
METHODS
We systematically reviewed PubMed, EMBase, and Cochrane from inception to May 3, 2020, and searched for placebo-controlled and head-to-head randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies (mAb) or soluble receptor fusion protein or anti-IL17A in patients with axSpA according to ASAS criteria and reporting safety data on AU. Data were extracted following a predefined protocol. We did pairwise and network meta-analyses for the primary outcome of AU flares (relapse or de novo) incidence and estimated summary odds ratios (ORs). We assessed the quality of evidence using the Cochrane risk-of-bias 2.0 tool. We ranked treatments according to their effectiveness in preventing AU flare using the P-score.
RESULTS
We identified 752 citations and included 33 RCTs, comprising 4544 treated patients (anti-TNF mAb 2101, etanercept [ETN] 699, anti-IL17A 1744) and 2497 placebo-receiving patients. Incidence of uveitis was lower with anti-TNF mAb versus placebo (OR = 0.46; CI 95% [0.24; 0.90]) and versus anti-IL17A (OR = 0.34; CI 95% [0.12; 0.92]. According to the P-score, the ranking from the most to the least preventive treatment of uveitis flare was as follows: anti-TNF mAb, ETN, placebo, and anti-IL17A.
CONCLUSION
In RCTs assessing anti-TNF and anti-IL17A in axSpA, incident uveitis are rare events. However, this network meta-analysis demonstrates that anti-TNF mAb are associated with a lower incidence of uveitis compared to placebo and anti-IL17A.
