PURPOSE:    To describe the ocular and systemic features in biopsy proven (definite) and non-biopsy proven (clinical) @entity2194 and to compare the ocular features with those proposed by the International Workshop for @entity2194 (IWOS). METHODS: Retrospective chart review of 83 @entity1 who attended a tertiary referral @entity1596 clinic and were diagnosed with @entity370 . @entity1 were divided into two groups based on the type of diagnosis: those who had tissue biopsy confirmed diagnosis 'definite @entity370 ' (n= 42; 50.60 %) and those who had 'clinical @entity370 ' (n= 41; 49.40%). Ocular and systemic manifestations, including lung function tests and bronchoalveolar lavage findings were compared in the two groups. The ocular features were also compared with the categories laid down by the International Workshop on @entity2194 (IWOS). RESULTS: The mean age at presentation was 38.75 years (SD=12.33), 55.42% @entity1 were female and mean follow-up was 24.35 months (SD=18.35). Trabecular meshwork nodules and/or tent-shaped PAS (category II of IWOS) were observed more frequently in @entity1 with biopsy proven @entity370 (26.19 % v/s 9.76%; p=0.08). After logistic regression analysis, the predictor coefficient curve showed area under curve of 0.7262. Lymphocytosis (38.61% and 28.02%, p=0.93) and monocytosis (55.11% and 53.83%, p=0.56) on bronchoalveolar lavage analysis was present in both the groups, highlighting presence of @entity738 . CONCLUSION: This study suggests high reliability for the clinical diagnosis of @entity2194 in @entity1 with signs recommended by IWOS and that our diagnostic criteria are consistent with that of the IWOS.
