Tattoo-Associated Uveitis: An African Case Series
This case series expands the clinical spectrum of tattoo-associated uveitis beyond its usual association with sarcoidosis. In these African patients, no systemic involvement was evident during evaluation. Clinicians should consider tattoo inspection in unexplained uveitis, including non- granulomatous cases, which were also observed in our series.
