    Author: Rothova A, Buitenhuis HJ, Christiaans BJ, Linssen A, van der Gaag R, Kijlstra A, Feltkamp TE.
    Journal: Br J Rheumatol; 1983 Nov; 22(4 Suppl 2):144-5. PubMed ID: 6606467.
    Abstract:
    A group of 30 consecutive HLA-B27 positive acute anterior uveitis (AAU) patients was compared to 30 consecutive HLA-B27 negative AAU patients. The B27 positive group was characterized by male preponderance, earlier age of onset, unilateral uveitis and favourable outcome with therapy. It is concluded that HLA-B27 typing is a useful diagnostic discriminant in AAU.
