What Is Iritis?
3. Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases can cause considerable damage to certain parts of the body if they are not treated accordingly. In some cases, a disease can affect parts of the body that were not the original location of the infection. One example of something that can cause iritis is tuberculosis, which is a bacterial lung infection.
Another is syphilis, which is a type of sexually transmitted disease. A fungal lung infection known as histoplasmosis is another example, as is toxoplasmosis, which is a type of parasitic infection. Infections like these can often be treated but can be dangerous if they are not so medical assistance should be sought as soon as they are discovered.
