* Significant ongoing infection requiring systemic antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral, or ant anti-mycobacterial therapy.
* Autoimmune or connective tissue disorder other than sarcoid or birdshot uveitis, (e.g. Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or Scleroderma.)
* Other known active eye diseases or eye infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral) that may interfere with the evaluation of uveitis.
* Grade 2 or above liver function abnormality
* Renal disease
* Any previous history of immunodeficiency syndromes or infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or a history of hepatitis C or chronic hepatitis B.
