Intraocular antibody synthesis during experimental uveitis.
Determination of intraocular antibody synthesis against certain microorganisms is a diagnostic aid in identifying the causative agent in clinical uveitis. Little is known, however, concerning the kinetics and specificity of antibodies produced during intraocular inflammation. To investigate this subject we induced uveitis in rabbits by injecting small amounts of human serum albumin (HSA) into t...
متن کاملRecurrent intraocular inflammation in endotoxin-induced uveitis.
PURPOSE Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rats and mice peaks 24 hours after endotoxin injection and is commonly assumed to be a monophasic disease. This study examined intraocular inflammation at later time points to determine whether endotoxin injection can induce recurrent intraocular inflammation in strains of mice with high or moderate levels of susceptibility to EIU. METHODS EIU was el...
متن کاملVitreous Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Uveitis
Accurate diagnosis of the etiology of inflammatory eye disease is crucial for appropriate treatment and management. In most cases, the diagnosis can be made by non-invasive techniques. It has been estimated however, that in approximately 8% of cases with uveitis, clinical presentation is non-specific or atypical and systemic medical evaluation is inconclusive. Diagnostic sampling of ocular spec...
متن کاملIntraocular penetration of periocular ketorolac and efficacy in experimental uveitis.
PURPOSE To determine in rabbits whether periocular injection of ketorolac tromethamine effectively delivers the drug to the eye and, if so, whether this is efficacious in the treatment of experimental uveitis. METHODS Ketorolac was administered by anterior subconjunctival injection, posterior periocular injection, intramuscular injection, or topical eye drops. The aqueous and vitreous were as...
متن کاملIntraocular and serum cytokine profiles in patients with intermediate uveitis
PURPOSE To study the intraocular and serum cytokine and chemokine profile in patients with intermediate uveitis (IU) at various stages of inflammatory activity. METHODS Institutional, prospective association study. Paired aqueous humor (AqH) and serum samples were collected from 36 consecutive IU patients and 10 controls. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70,...
