[The immunological mechanisms of the tissue lesions in endogenous uveitis]

The endogenous uveitis is essentially an immunologic disease, although it has a very variable immunology. During the immune response are implied the reactions of tardive hypersensibility (by immune complexes), hypersensibility through antibodies produced intraocularly or transported by the overall circulation and rarely, immediate hypersensibility reaction. The absence of lymphatics in the eye and of the antigenic cells in the tissues which limit the anterior chamber, implies an active, deviated immunity response, denoted by the term ACAID.
