title: [Circulating immune complexes in the blood and anterior chamber fluid in patients with glaucoma and diabetic angioretinopathy complicated by myopia and senile cataract].
abstract: Circulating immune complexes (CIC) in the serum and anterior eye chamber were simultaneously measured by 4% polyethylene glycol in 23 ophthalmologic patients. The patients with noncomplicated cataracts were found to have elevated serum levels of CIC (175 +/- 8.1 opt. units, p less than 0.001), whereas the patients with glaucoma, diabetic angioretinopathy, and complicated myopia had even higher CIC levels in the serum (247 +/- 7.1 opt. units, p less than 0.001) together with the increased CIC levels in the anterior eye chamber fluid (29.43 +/- 0.88 opt. units, p less than 0.001), which fact is indicative of the augmentation of the autoimmune component it the progress of the dystrophic changes in the eye tissues.
