Unlikely cause: Most cases of recurrent iritis are spontaneous without underlying disease. There are some systemic illness associated with recurrence including ankylosing spondylitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Lgv would be a very rare association with iritis and may be coincidental. There are reasons for you to be tested forlgv but not iritis.
