Methods: Four patient records were reviewed. Demographic features, clinical findings, course of uveitis, diagnostic/therapeutic measures, and outcomes are reported. Results: All cases presented with severe panuveitis with visual acuities below 6/60 and poor fundal views. Three patients underwent intraocular fluid sampling for microbiology. All required systemic high-dose corticosteroid treatment, and two also needed oral immunosuppression. All eventually required cataract extraction. Final visual acuity varied from 6/12 to 6/6. Conclusions: HLA B27-associated uveitis may be unusually severe and may cause a panuveitis, mimicking infective endophthalmitis. The course may be prolonged and difficult with frequent complications including cataract.
