الوصف: Purpose To investigate relationship between vitreous interleukin-6 levels and vitreous particles findings on widefield optical coherence tomography in posterior uveitis. Methods This retrospective study examined vitreous inflammatory cells (hyperreflective particles) of posterior uveitis on widefield optical coherence tomography (WOCT). We examined the number of hyperreflective particles (possibility of vitreous inflammatory cells) observed on WOCT and the correlations with interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. The relationship between vitreous IL-6 levels and image findings from WOCT from 37 eyes (34 patients) with posterior uveitis were analyzed. Mean patient age was 63.4±15.7 years. (Mean± standard deviation) IL-6 concentration in vitreous humor was 79.9±7380.9 pg/mL Uveitis was infectious in 9 cases and non-infectious in 28 cases with multiplex polymerase chain reaction system. We measured the number and size of vitreous cells in the posterior vitreous, defined as the space between the upper vitreous and the internal limiting membrane on WOCT at the macular, upper, and lower regions. Image analysis software was also used for cell counting. Results A strong correlation was seen between human and software counts. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (PCC) was performed to compare categorial variables (on macular +0.866; upper cavity +0.713; lower cavity +0.568; total vitreous cavity +0.834; P<0 . 001 each ). IL-6 levels correlated with both vitreous cell counts and cell counts observed on macular WOCT (human-counted group +0.339, P = 0 . 04 ; software-counted group +0.349, P = 0 . 03 ). Infectious uveitis showed higher IL-6 levels ( P = 0 . 016 ) and high cell counts compared with non-infectious uveitis ( P = 0 . 04 ). Conclusions Vitreous number of hyperreflective particles (cells) findings on WOCTcorrelated well with human and software cell counts. Vitreous cells findings on WOCT also correlated with IL-6 concentrations on macular.
