Laboratory Studies
- Laboratory investigation should be tailored to appropriate studies based on both the history and the physical findings.
- Serology
- Skin tests
Imaging Studies
- Chest radiographs
- Computerized tomography
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Gallium scanning
Procedures
- Conjunctival biopsy
- Vitreous biopsy
- Anterior chamber paracentesis
