title: The third component of complement (C'3) level in patients with uveitis.
abstract: 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.
