[Immunologic behavior in 50 patients with acute anterior uveitis]

A prospective study that included 50 patients with acute anterior uveitis was done. The aim was to describe their immunological behavior. According to the results, patients with an allergic basis are predisposed and have more severe disease. However, immunoallergic tests are positives in patients with acute anterior uveitis where associated pathologies modify the tests, even if allergic etiology may or may not be possible. We recommend further studies in patients with allergic antecedents, in order to pay more attention to them.
