Cytokine status in patients with first diagnosed uveitis
Abstract
The authors studied production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in 53 patients with first diagnosed uveitis. The blood serum of these patients was characterized by increased concentrations of interleukins 1α, 6, 10 and tumour necrosis factor-α. The acute uveitis with the favourable outcome had the levels of the interleukin 1α and tumour necrosis factor-α increased, while the patients with the chronic process, when first admitted to the hospital, had the indices of interleukins 6 and 10 (2.8 and 2.9 times increase, respectively).
