title: [Central serous choroiditis. Possible allergic etiopathogenesis] Preliminary report].
abstract: We performed a study of all patients with Central Serous Choroiditis that were attended in Ophthalmology consultation, both on ambulatory and emergency services, as well as in Allergy-Ophthalmology inter-consultations at the Provincial Educational Hospital "Saturnino Lora" in Santiago de Cuba, from January 1982 until July 1984. These patients were divided in two groups: A and B; the former was treated with suppression and challenge diets, and with antihistaminic drugs: the latter with conventional therapeutic agents. We established several criteria for the evaluation of results as: Good, Fair and Bad. We followed a similar procedure in evaluating the inflammatory state of the eye fundus as Discreet, Moderate and Severe. With the first evaluation of treatment at 15 days, we observed greater improvement in patients from group A than with patients from group B.
