Abstract

To investigate the role of ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFA) for monitoring therapeutic response to adalimumab in patients with Behcet's uveitis.Patients with Behcet's uveitis treated with adalimumab for ≥30 weeks were included. Intraocular inflammation, best-corrected visual acuity, systemic medications, and UWFA scores were evaluated.Thirty-eight eyes of 20 patients were included. Significant decreases in grading of anterior chamber cells and vitreous haze were observed at 6, 14, and 30 weeks after adalimumab administration (UWFA scores significantly improved in Behcet's uveitis patients treated with adalimumab, and further improvement of UWFA scores was found in patients with a clinically quiescent inflammatory state.
