ABSTRACT
Nine children with acute posterior uveitis were treated for period of 3 years (3.2% of all children treated during that period). The authors speak in favor of the investigation of the HLA-system and the analysis of humoral and cellular immunologic parameters. In this study they present the relationship between these characteristics and the clinical diagnosis. Three of 9 children have with eye diseases associated HLA-B5 and HLA-B12 antigens and grave consequences for the sight of both eyes already as children. The results of immunologic tests in the examined group compared to the control group differ significantly in the total number of lymphocytes, total number of B lymphocytes and serum values of IgG, as well as C3 values of complement component (P < 0.05). Seen in percentage, however, the ratio of T to B lymphocytes, as well as the total number of leukocytes don't show significant differences. We consider that a proper and well-aimed history and complete etiologic detection according to the protocol have contributed to a clearer understanding and better insight into the prognosis of our patients.
