Is there a relationship between uveitis and arthritis?

See answer: Some types of uveitis and arthritis are caused by dysfunction in the immune system so the same underlying immune system problem can cause both inflammation in the joint and inflammation in the eye.

Sometimes: There are several arthritis conditions which can be associated with uveitis. The most prominent of these is anklylosing spondylitis which cases lower back pain and some other systemic problems and can cause a striking uveitis. The most common arthritides, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis are not associated with uveitis.
