Errors and Delays in Diagnosing Keratitis Fugax Hereditaria
KFH in Finland is most likely misdiagnosed as anterior uveitis. We suggest prospectively evaluating the addition of the NLRP3 variant c.61G>C to laboratory test packages for differential diagnosis of anterior uveitis. KFH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anterior uveitis, especially in the Nordic countries and populations originating from them. Symptoms similar to those of KFH may also occur in other NLRP3-linked autoinflammatory syndromes.
