Abstract

ABSTRACT: Purpose : To report the use of flow cytometry on aqueous fluid to diagnose sarcoidosis in a patient with recurrent granulomatous anterior uveitis. Methods : Case report. Results : Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid demonstrated a CD4/CD8 ratio >9.5, consistent with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Conclusions : Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid may offer an additional pathway for diagnosing sarcoid anterior uveitis.
