The working group introduced a SUN-compatible nomenclature that also defines disease "remission" and "cure", both of which are relevant for reporting treatment outcomes.: A consensus nomenclature system has been adopted by a large group of international uveitis experts for OTB. The working group recommends the use of standardized nomenclature to prevent ambiguity in communication and to achieve the goal of spreading awareness of this blinding uveitis entity.}, issn = {1744-5078}, doi = {10.1080/09273948.2019.1653933}, author = {Agrawal, Rupesh and Agarwal, Aniruddha and Jabs, Douglas A and Kee, Aera and Testi, Ilaria and Mahajan, Sarakshi and McCluskey, Peter J and Gupta, Amod and Palestine, Alan and Denniston, Alastair and Banker, Alay and Invernizzi, Alessandro and Fonollosa, Alex and Sharma, Aman and Kumar, Amitabh and Curi, Andre and Okada, Annabelle and Schlaen, Ariel and Heiligenhaus, Arnd and Kumar, Atul and Gurbaxani, Avinash and Bodaghi, Bahram and Islam Shah, Bulbul and Lowder, Careen and Tappeiner, Christoph and Muccioli, Cristina and Vasconcelos-Santos, Daniel Vitor and Goldstein, Debra and Behra, Digambar and Das, Dipankar and Makhoul, Dorine and Baglivo, Edoardo and Denisova, Ekaterina and Miserocchi, Elisabetta and Carreno, Ester and Asyari, Fatma and Pichi, Francesco and Sen, H Nida and Uy, Harvey and Nascimento, Heloisa and Tugal-Tutkun, Ilknur and Arevalo, J Fernando and Davis, Janet and Thorne, Jennifer and Hisae Yamamoto, Joyce and Smith, Justine and Garweg, Justus G and Biswas, Jyotirmay and Babu, Kalpana and Aggarwal, Kanika and Cimino, Luca and Kuffova, Lucia and Agarwal, Mamta and Zierhut, Manfred and Agarwal, Manisha and DeSmet, Marc and Tognon, Maria Sofia and Errera, Marie-Helene and Munk, Marion and Westcott, Mark and Soheilian, Masoud and Accorinti, Massimo and Khairallah, Moncef and Nguyen, Myhanh and Kon, Onn Minn and Mahendradas, Padmamalini and Yang, Peizeng and Neri, Piergiorgio and Ozdal, Pinar and Amer, Radgonde and Lee, Richard and Distia Nora, Rina La and Chhabra, Romi and Belfort, Rubens and Mehta, Salil and Shoughy, Samir and Luthra, Saurabh and Mohamed, Shelina Oli and Chee, Soon-Phaik and Basu, Soumyava and Teoh, Stephen and Ganesh, Sudha and Barisani-Asenbauer, Talin and Guex-Crosier, Yan and Ozyazgan, Y{\i}lmaz and Akova, Yonca and Habot-Wilner, Zohar and Kempen, John and Nguyen, Quan Dong and Pavesio, Carlos and Gupta, Vishali and Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS) Group} }
