Ocular Fluid Work-up in Presumed Trematode-Induced Granulomatous Uveitis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will collect clinical data and ocular fluid samples from patients with presumed trematode-induced granulomatous uveitis who are undergoing anterior chamber washout or pars plana vitrectomy at Kasr Al-Aini Ophthalmology Clinic. Researchers will document demographics, disease duration, eye findings, and treatment history, and perform targeted investigations to exclude other causes of granulomatous uveitis. They will record exam results, imaging, and laboratory tests, including AC and vitreous samples for analysis. Data will be analyzed to characterize the clinical presentation and laboratory findings associated with this condition. The goal is to enhance understanding of PTIGU and refine future diagnostic approaches.
