Not SLE: Hla b 27 is not associated with stomach lupus erythematosus. It is found in four to eight percent of the normal caucasian population. It is associated with ankylosing spondylitis a spondyloarthropathy. As you know it can also be associated with uveitis, but not with systemic lupus erythematosus or similar autoimmune diseases.

See a rheumatologist: A variety of blood tests can be performed along with a detailed history and physical examination to look for conditions associated with uveitis. A rheumatologist is the most qualified to perform this work up.

Anklyosing spondy: There is a high likelihood that you have ankylosing spondylitis which correlates with the hlab27 already shown to exist in your immune picture. Uveitis is an accompaniment of this condition and can be quite severe. You should check with a rheumatologist as there are features of anklyosing which should be treated to prevent permanent change.
