A clinical grading system for retinal inflammation in the chronic model of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis using digital fundus images
Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU), a widely used animal model of human
posterior/pan-uveitis, is extremely valuable in allowing understanding of the pathogenesis of
uveitis as well as in developing new treatments. Depending on the animal strain and
immunization protocol used, the clinical course of EAU can be acute, severe and involving
the anterior and posterior part of the eye, or chronic, mild and involving only the posterior
part of the eye. Clinical signs of EAU can be examined by bio-microscopy. Using appropriate …
