Article Abstract
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic multi-systemic disease characterized by relapsing-remitting oral ulcers, genital ulcers, ocular inflammatory involvements, and numerous other systemic features. Ocular involvements are quite common in BD and may cause severe tissue damage and potentially blindness. Even though the pathogenesis of BD remains ambiguous, growing evidences have shown that genetic factors, environmental triggers and immunological abnormalities play significant roles in its development and progression. Novel biotherapies targeting IFN-γ, TNF-α and interleukins have been used in recent years. In this review, we mainly pay attention to the ocular involvement of BD, and discuss the current understanding of mechanisms and advances in therapeutic approaches, especially novel biologics. Finally, we discuss the management in patients with pregnancy.

Ocular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is rare and typically associated with central nervous system or bone marrow involvement. Anterior segment infiltration as the sole manifestation of relapse is exceptionally uncommon and may mimic noninfectious uveitis, leading to diagnostic delay. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with a history of B-cell precursor ALL, diagnosed at age 2 and treated according to the ALL IC BFM 2009 protocol.

Purpose: To analyze the relationship between various visual function parameters (refractive status, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity) and macular pigment optical density (MPOD) values, as well as dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin in a pediatric population.
Methods: Thirty-six healthy White pediatric patients participated in this cross-sectional study conducted at the Optometry Clinic (Faculty of Pharmacy, Seville, Spain). MPOD values were measured using the MPSII (Macular Pigment Screener II).
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative malignancy associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection, predominantly affecting immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS. Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy, KS remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population, especially when diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Ocular involvement, although rare, can lead to significant functional impairment.

Rationale: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a hematological disorder characterized by a decrease in platelet count due to increased destruction or decreased production. Although the pathophysiology and etiology remain largely unknown, understanding the typical and atypical presentations of ITP is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management. This case report highlights the rationale behind a comprehensive approach for the diagnosis and treatment of ITP, especially in cases with atypical presentations.

Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Objectives: To characterise the chorioretinal (CR) manifestations of West Nile virus (WNV) infection using multimodal imaging (MMI).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 37 patients with confirmed WNV infection hospitalised at a single centre (July-September 2024). All underwent comprehensive ophthalmological evaluations, including visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundoscopy, and multimodal imaging: fundus photography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography when clinically indicated.
