Anterior childhood uveitis (emedicine.com)

this is a good overview of anterior uveitis in children. it doesn't go into treatment. it discusses JIA, (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis), Sarcoidosis, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, crohn's disease and viral causes, it mentions HLA B27 related uveitis. It doesn't talk about other genetic causes such as IL23RN,ARTS1 or IL1RN*2 related autoimmune diseases which include many of the above as well as Psorisis and autoimmune thyroid disease.
