Monitoring Drug-induced Uveitis

Monitoring Drug-induced Uveitis

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to induce uveitis. This study investigates reports of uveitis, including the International classification of disease ICD-10 for treatments in the World Health Organization (WHO) global Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) database (VigiBase).

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to have an impact on the eyes and are responsible of uveitis. Those are poorly described, due to the modification of the pharmacopeia, and the recent recognition of several of these adverse events. This study investigates the main characteristics of patients affected by uveitis side effect imputed to drugs. A causality assessment according to the WHO-UMC (World Health Organization - Uppsala Monitoring Center) is systematically applied.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Case reported in the WHO's pharmacovigilance database till 01/04/2019
