title: Immunology of multisystem ocular disease.
abstract: In this review based on Prof. James' 1983 George Nelms Wise Lecture, the authors summarize proven and speculated relationships involved in the immunology of multisystem ocular disease. Extensive tables elucidate the mechanisms underlying such conditions as, systemic lupus erythematosus, polyarteritis nodosa, Sjögren's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, scleritis, sarcoidosis, Behcet's disease, idiopathic retinal vasculitis, sympathetic ophthalmia, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, and dysthyroid eye disease.
