The third component of complement (C'3) level in patients with uveitis.
In 23 cases of endogenous uveitis the third component of the complement (C'3) system was determined by the immunodiffusion method. No statistical difference was found in uveitis patients as a whole in comparison with the normal controls; although a rather high value of C'3 was found in six cases of Eales' disease and in three cases of Behçet's disease. The significance of these results is discussed.
