Infection of the sinuses, which are cavities around the nose. The infection can be acute (lasting about a week) or chronic (lasting more than three months). It can be caused by viruses or bacteria.
Uveitis
A type of eye inflammation that impacts the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea). Uveitis can be caused by infection, injury, or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease. It can be serious and lead to permanent vision loss, so early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
This viral infection causes sore throat, red eyes, and fever. Some patients may have enlarged neck glands (lymph nodes). Patients usually recover without treatment.
Optic neuritis happens when the optic nerve, which sends messages from your eye to your brain, becomes inflamed. This can affect eye movement and vision. Inflammation of the optic nerve can be caused by infections or immune system disorders like multiple sclerosis and lupus.
