Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis (SHAPU), characterized by an unusual form of unilateral severe hyper acute diffused intraocular inflammation, is one of the mysterious eye diseases of which the definite cause and treatment remains yet to be tound out. In this study, a total of six cases were included. Aqueous and vitreous samples were subjected to direct microscopy and culture (bacterial or fungal). Of the six cases included, two yielded Streptococcus pneumoniae and one Acinetobactor sp. on culture. All three culture positive samples showed pus cells in direct microscopic examination (gram stain). All cases were subjected to vitrectomy and intravitreal antibiotic and steroid injection, along with oral antibiotics and steroid. Five cases were also treated with antiviral agent. After treatment four cases showed reversal of hypotony and three cases recovered some vision.
Moths have been reported to increase the prevalence of this disease. Complications can be as devastating as blindness.

I would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
