Be like Detective Pikachu, but don't forget Shin Chan! Anterior Uveitis & Axial SpA - HLA-B27 Testing, Features, Support? · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • · The most common type of Uveitis (inflammation in the eye) is anterior uveitis, or iritis, and almost 50% of patients with this condition test positive for the genetic marker HLA-B27. Having a positive result could potentially help establish the diagnosis, guide treatment, and provide information about prognosis. It can help avoid unnecessary diagnostic workup too. But it's a grey area as both false negatives and false positives can happen. Asking questions is key and results should be interpreted in the context of the full clinical picture.

Anyone got any experience or knowledge about HLA B27 positive?

I've spent an hour and a half puking and the sort. I bet this is a sign that I've inherited Crohn's or IBS.

Officially diagnosed...

Turns out I have the HLA B27 gene. Good news its that they're not sure if I have ankylosing spondylitis yet...
