title: Serum alpha-1 acid glycoprotein levels in acute idiopathic anterior uveitis.
abstract: Serum alpha-1 acid glycoprotein levels were measured in 56 patients with acute idiopathic anterior uveitis and 42 healthy subjects by a radial immunodiffusion method. The levels were found to be increased significantly in moderate and severe types of uveitis; they were normal in mild type. Serum alpha-1 acid glycoprotein levels closely paralleled the severity of the disease. The serum levels of this protein returned to normal after clinical improvement.
