Popis: Purpose: To report the use of flow cytometry on aqueous fluid to diagnose sarcoidosis in a patient with recurrent granulomatous anterior uveitis.Methods: Case report.Results: Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid demonstrated a CD4/CD8 ratio >9.5, consistent with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis.Conclusions: Flow cytometry on aqueous fluid may offer an additional pathway for diagnosing sarcoid anterior uveitis.
