azathioprine has been researched along with Panuveitis in 8 studies
Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.
Panuveitis: Inflammation in which both the anterior and posterior segments of the uvea are involved and a specific focus is not apparent. It is often severe and extensive and a serious threat to vision. Causes include systemic diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and syphilis, as well as malignancies. The intermediate segment of the eye is not involved.

| " Methotrexate is probably slightly more efficacious than mycophenolate in achieving control of inflammation, including steroid-sparing control (moderate-certainty evidence), although there was insufficient evidence to prefer one medication over the other in the VKH subgroup (very low-certainty evidence)." | 5.22 | Non-biologic, steroid-sparing therapies for non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in adults. ( Edwards Mayhew, RG; Leslie, L; Li, T; McCann, P; Palestine, AG; Strong Caldwell, A, 2022) |

| "A 23-year-old-male patient with Behcet Disease had clinically inactive uveitis with topical steroids, oral azathiopurine and cyclosporine until he developed a retinal infiltrate in the left eye which evolved into a full-thickness macular hole during the follow-up." | 1.40 | An exceptional case of full-thickness macular hole closure in a patient with Behçet disease. ( Atalay, E; Özkök, A; Özyazgan, Y; Uçar, D; Yıldırım, Y, 2014) |
