[T-lymphocyte subsets in 20 cases of uveitis of various type]
Lymphocyte T subsets are determined by system OKT in 20 patients with various types of uveitis (Behçet disease 8, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease 5, anterior uveitis 4, Kirisawa type uveitis 1, uveitis associated with Psoriasis vulgaris 1, undetermined type uveitis 1). Augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) associated with reduction of OKT 4+/OKT 8+ was found as compared with normal individuals. Diminution of OKT 4+/OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) was noted in 5 patients with Behçet disease in association with augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.005). In Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease there is augmentation of OKT 8+ (p less than 0.05) which is, however, not so marked as in Behçet disease. On the contrary anterior uveitis was characterized by a remarkable rise in OKT 4+/OKT 8+.
