title: [Immuno-correcting therapy of sympathetic ophthalmia].
abstract: Exchange plasmapheresis was used in correction of the immune homeostasis in 5 patients with sympathetic ophthalmia. The inflammatory process ceased in all the cases. Exchange plasmapheresis resulted in improvement of the blood supply to ocular vessels, of intraocular vessel function, and of metabolic processes in the external layers of the retina. Cellular and humoral immunity parameters normalized. The hemo- and hydrodynamic parameters of the eye improved; all these results evidence that exchange plasmapheresis is an effective method in the treatment of sympathetic ophthalmia.
