CHOROIDOPATHY OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, ABOUT 2 CASES RECEIVED AT THE BRAZZAVILLE OPHTHALMOLOGICAL CENTER
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PV206 / #35 Poster Topic: AS23 - SLE-Diagnosis, Manifestations, & Outcomes Background/Purpose Lupus choroidopathy is a rare but potentially serious ocular complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs and systems. Although choroidopathy is less common than other ocular manifestations of SLE, it can cause significant visual loss if not diagnosed and treated promptly. The objective of this study is to describe 2 cases of lupus choroidopathy treated at the Ophthalmological Center of Brazzaville, in order to illustrate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and results obtained. Methods This study is based on the analysis of 2 clinical cases of patients diagnosed with choroidopathy associated with SLE, received at the Ophthalmological Center of Brazzaville. Clinical data were collected from medical records, including medical history, presenting symptoms, results of ophthalmological examinations (ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography), as well as treatments administered. The patients were followed over a specific period to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and the evolution of their condition. Results Both patients presented a decrease in visual acuity accompanied by scotomas, serous retinal detachments and subretinal exudates, confirmed by ophthalmological examinations. The patients were treated with systemic corticosteroid therapy combined with immunosuppressants, which led to a significant improvement in ocular condition and stabilization of visual function. The clinical course of both cases demonstrated a favorable response to treatment, with a reduction in retinal detachments and inflammatory signs Conclusions Lupus choroidopathy, although rare, should be considered in any patient with systemic lupus erythematosus presenting with visual symptoms. These 2 cases illustrate the importance of early diagnosis and adequate therapeutic management to improve visual outcomes and prevent serious complications. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for the effective management of this pathology and to minimize the risk of irreversible visual loss in patients with SLE.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
