Anterior uveitis with hypopyon was recorded twice as frequently as retinal vasculitis. Chronic CME, secondary glaucoma and occlusive vasculitis were the most serious complications of ophthalmological manifestations of BD. Ulcerations of connective tissue and skin manifestations of BD were found most frequently in the authors patients. In two thirds of the patients also the risk phenotype HLA B5 was recorded.
