PURPOSE: Retrospective evaluation of epidemiological features and visual prognosis of @entity1 with @entity195 ( @entity195 ) who visited the University of Tokyo Hospital between 1974 and 1993. OBSERVATIONS: During the survey period, more than 100 new @entity1 with @entity195 visited the @entity1596 clinic in each 5-year period. The number of new @entity1 decreased in the most recent 5-year period from 1989 to 1993. Although @entity195 has always been more prevalent in @entity1 , the percentage of @entity1 has increased to 24.7% (19/77) in the most recent 5-year survey period. The percentage of @entity1 who initially manifested ocular symptoms in their third or fourth decade was more than 70%. The proportion of the incomplete type of @entity195 gradually had increased to 62.3% (48/77) by 1993. Among the extraocular major symptoms, oral aphtha and @entity272 have been frequent and genital @entity1066 has become less frequent in the last 20 years. The @entity1 whose visual acuity was better than 0.4 at the first visit in the 1984-1993 period had a significantly better visual prognosis than the @entity1 in the previous 10-year period. The main drug therapy consisted of @entity3812 and @entity786 in the earlier 10-year period, and of @entity3812 and @entity205 in the later 10-year period. CONCLUSIONS: @entity195 is still one of the most frequently encountered types of endogenous @entity1596 . There have been some changes in the epidemiological features of the @entity1 with @entity195 over the past 20 years. The introduction of @entity205 in 1985 is probably responsible for the improvement of the visual prognosis in @entity195 @entity1 .
