摘要

目的：探讨儿童葡萄膜炎流行病学的地理变异性，葡萄膜炎虽然在儿童中很罕见，但具有显著的发病风险。方法：这是一项在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的两个三级转诊中心进行的回顾性研究。收集2006年1月1日至2014年10月1日期间被诊断为葡萄膜炎的16岁以下患者的人口统计学和临床数据。结果：共有257名患者（380眼）被纳入研究。病例倾向于单侧（13452.1%）、肉芽肿性（14656.8%）和局限于后段（12147.1%）。弓形虫病是最常见的病因（9838.1%）。讨论：布宜诺斯艾利斯的儿童葡萄膜炎谱系与哥伦比亚最相似。了解这些地理差异对于在日益全球化的世界中照顾儿童的援助提供者来说很重要。[儿科眼科斜视杂志.20XX；X（X）：XX-XX.]。

Epidemiology of Pediatric Uveitis in Argentina.

Purpose: To explore the geographic variability of the epidemiology of pediatric uveitis, which, although rare in children, carries a significant risk of morbidity.

Methods: This was a retrospective review conducted at two tertiary referral centers in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Demographic and clinical data of patients younger than 16 years diagnosed as having uveitis between January 1, 2006 and October 1, 2014 were collected.

Results: A total of 257 patients (380 eyes) were included in the study. Cases tended to be unilateral (134, 52.1%), granulomatous (146, 56.8%), and localized to the posterior segment (121, 47.1%). Toxoplasmosis was the most common etiology (98, 38.1%).

Discussion: The spectrum of pediatric uveitis in Buenos Aires most closely resembles that of Colombia. Understanding these geographic variations is important to aid providers who are caring for children in an increasingly globalized world. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(3):183-187.].
