Immunological analysis of the aqueous humour in candida endophthalmitis. I: Experimental study.

چکیده
An immunological study of aqueous humour and serum was carried out in experimental ocular candidosis in rabbits. Anti-candida antibody titres, immunoglobulin G, and albumin levels were evaluated in the aqueous humour and in the serum. A local synthesis of anti-candida antibodies was detected in numerous rabbits at the height of clinical activity of the lesions.

Immunological analysis of the aqueous humour in candida endophthalmitis. II: Clinical study.
An anterior chamber paracentesis was carried out on six patients with candida endophthalmitis and on control subjects. We endeavoured to find out if there was local production of antibodies by evaluating the anti-candida antibody titres, the immunoglobulin G, and the albumin levels in the aqueous humour and in the serum. A significant difference in the level of specific antibodies between patie...
متن کاملAnalysis of proteins of bovine lens, vitreous, and aqueous by electrophoresis and by Oudin's gel diffusion technique.
THE object of these studies was to analyse the proteins of bovine crystalline lens, aqueous, and vitreous humour to find out whether there are proteins common to these tissues and to bovine serum. Apart from the theoretical interest, there was also the practical aspect that the results might throw some light on the problem of endophthalmitis phacoanaphylactica. Verhoeff and Lemoine (1922), Burk...
متن کاملA study of aqueous and serum levels of ceftazidime following subconjunctival administration.
Patients undergoing cataract surgery may develop an infective endophthalmitis postoperatively which may result in the loss of an eye. This study was carried out to measure aqueous humour levels and to assess patients' tolerance of ceftazidime, a potent antipseudomonal cephalosporin, given subconjunctivally. Eighteen patients received 125 mg ceftazidime subconjunctivally before they underwent ro...
متن کاملRelease of prostaglandins in experimental immunecomplex endophthalmitis and phacoallergic uveitis.
Prostaglandins-E were demonstrated in the aqueous humour, the anterior uvea, and the choroid of rabbits in which type III allergic reactions were produced by two different methods. In general the levels of prostaglandins were found to be higher in those animals in which the immune complexes were formed from autologous rather than heterologous tissue antigens.
متن کاملLate onset endophthalmitis associated with intraocular lens: a case of molecularly proved S. epidermidis aetiology.
A case of severe endophthalmitis after cataract extraction followed by posterior chamber lens implantation is reported. Microbiological cultures from a tap of the patient's aqueous humour prior to lens explantation as well as from the explanted lens and aqueous and vitreous humour during operation yielded Staphylococcus epidermidis sensu stricto. Scanning electron microscopy showed massive colo...
