Dys- and paraproteinaemias in patients suffering from ophthalmic herpes zoster

Abstract:
Humoral immune parameters were measured in 93 patients suffering from ophthalmic herpes zoster. The control group consisted of 31 other ophthalmic patients. In all cases, electrophoresis, immunoglobulins, acutephase proteins, immune complexes, antinuclear antibody and complement components were determined as well. In patients suffering from ophthalmic herpes zoster the main immunological deviations among the humoral parameters were found in the non-specific immune response. These alterations were comparable with the extent and severity of the pathological processes. Para-proteins were detected in 12% of the patients. In contrast they were not present in the control group.
