Uveitis differential diagnosis — with the evidence on the screen

UveitisDDx ranks the differential across 70 uveitis entities and masquerades from the frequencies reported in the published series, shows its working for every number, and keeps what must not be missed beside the ranking rather than inside it.

For ophthalmologists, trainees and eye-care professionals. Accounts are approved by hand.

Enter the case the way you examine

Profile, history, symptoms, anterior segment, vitreous, fundus, imaging, labs, systemic — per eye, and a sign can be recorded as looked for and absent, not only present. The ranking updates as you go, and Ask next names the single question, sign or test that would move the diagnosis most.

  • Must not miss and Test before steroids answer a different question from the ranking, so they do not obey it.
  • SUN 2021 and ICBD 2014 classification criteria are checked live against the case, and never scored.
  • A targeted work-up for each diagnosis: which test confirms it, and what each result does to the probability.

Every number has a source

Open Why this rank and each row shows the finding, how often it occurs in that disease, how often it occurs across uveitis in general, its contribution to the score — and the PubMed identifier it came from. Where the literature is silent it says consensus, instead of inventing a citation.

Your own case log — and Arabic

Signed-in users keep a private, de-identified case log: visits over time with the engine's reading at each one, your note, your final diagnosis and its certainty. Nothing leaves your account unless you choose, case by case, to share it de-identified for research.

There is a teaching mode with 114 cases, it installs on a phone and works offline in clinic, and the whole interface reads in English or Arabic.

The most useful thing you can send me is a case it gets wrong.
