Hunting for hidden eye infections: a new diagnostic approach
NCT ID NCT04521673
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Infectious uveitis is a serious cause of blindness, but current tests often miss the culprit. This study uses a broad panel of molecular tests to detect bacteria, viruses, and fungi in eye fluid from 100 patients with suspected infectious uveitis in China. The goal is to map which pathogens are most common and see how well different tests perform.
