[Selected immunologic parameters in uveitis].

The behaviour of selected immunological parameters was checked in 38 patients with uveitis. The presence of immunological complexes was found in 23 patients and in 9 a positive Waaler-Rose's reaction. All patients showed a considerable fall in the percentage of the T lymphocytes with an increase of the B lymphocytes without markers as well as an increased concentration of the serum immunoglobulins of the M, A and G class.

[Circulating immune complexes in children with uveitis].

The occurrence of circulating immunological complexes was investigated in 25 children with uveitis (11 with an anterior and 14 with posterior uveitis). The presence of complexes was found in 15 children, among them in 6 with anterior and 9 with posterior uveitis. Besides the diseased children showed a significant lowering of the percentage of the T lymphocytes by simultaneous increased percentage of B lymphocytes and also a raised concentration of the serum immunoglobulins of M, A and G class.

Selected immunological parameters in patients suffering from uveitis subjected to different treatment.

Selected immunological parameters were studied in 70 subjects suffering from uveitis. The patients were treated with steroids, non steroid antiinflammatory drugs, and typhoid vaccine. After termination of treatment the following observations were noted: partial disappearance of immune complexes from circulation, increase of T lymphocytes and decrease of B lymphocytes percentage, decrease of IgG, IgM and IgA serum concentration, normalization of acute inflammation parameters (reduction of: ESR, leukocyte count, total protein and seromucoid concentrations; increase of albumin concentration).
