Association of juvenile disciform maculopathy with HLA B15.
Twenty patients with juvenile disciform maculopathy (JDM), which clinically cannot be differentiated from presumed ocular histoplasmosis, are presented. Histocompatibility antigen typing showed an increase in HLA B15, but this increase was not significant with respect to the corrected P-value. We are reporting our results in the hope of encouraging those who have cases of JDM in Europe to consider histocompatibility antigens and in particular HLA B15.
