OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to determine characteristics and outcome of hypertensive anterior uveitis and prevalence of the Herpesviridae family. STUDY: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: A total of 64 anterior uveitis participants with increased intraocular pressure and Herpesviridae family polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis results were included. RESULTS: The prevalence of Herpes family was 53.1% (6.3% for herpes simplex virus, 10.9% for varicella-zoster virus, 34.4% for cytomegalovirus, and 1.6% for Epstein-Barr virus), Posner-Schlossman syndrome 25%, Fuchs uveitis syndrome 7.8%, and idiopathic 14.1%. The recurrence rate was 70.3%. Age in PCR-proven infection group (52.7 ± 15.3) was older than the PCR-negative group (44.4 ± 12.5) (p = 0.021). Glaucoma in PCR-proven infection group (44.1%) was more than in PCR-negative group (16.7%) (p = 0.018). Corneal endothelial cell count in PCR-proven infection group (1879.3 ± 952.3) was lower than in PCR-negative group (2532.9 ± 540.4) (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Viral infection was found in one half of hypertensive anterior uveitis. The complications of PCR-proven infectious case were more severe than PCR-negative case.
