Abstract:
Ninety seven sera, 53 from patients with Acute Anterior Uveitis and 44 from age and sex matched controls were tested for antichlamydial antibodies employing a recently developed technique of ELISA. Higher positivity of 27.0% was recorded in controls as against 17.0% in patients. The difference was statistically insignificant. All the subjects had trachoma at stage II-IV. Age and sex did not seem to influence the findings in both, the cases and controls. Through this study, the role of Chlamydia in the etiology of A. A. U. is not ascertained. Further studies are recommended.
