• Resumen

  • Primary uveitis (isolated bouts of inflammation) must be differentiated from recurrent uveitis (multiple bouts of inflammation interrupted by periods of quiescence).

    Medical therapy/management alone leads to severe loss of vision or blindness in greater than 50% of all affected horses.

    There is a breed predilection for ERU in Appaloosa, draft, Knabstrupper, Icelandic, and warmblood breeds.
