- FungusUveitis has many different causes, including infectious and non-infectious sources. Infectious causes include a virus (such as shingles or herpes simplex), a fungus (such as histoplasmosis), a parasite (such as toxoplasmosis), or bacteria. Sometimes the inflammation is related to a disease in other parts of the body, such as arthritis, gastrointestinal disease, or collagen vascular disease such as lupus. Finally, uveitis can also develop as a result of injury to the eye. In most cases of uveitis, the cause of the disease remains unknown.
