[Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in brucellosis uveitis (author's transl)].
The diagnosis of ocular brucellosis relies on the Witmer's ratio between ocular and seric specific antibodies. If the dosage in acqueous humor is not available a presumptive diagnosis is given by significative values of serologic tests (buffered antigene test, indirect immunofluorescence, passive hemagglutination test) and by the cell-immunity test (TIL and IML). Treatment must be local, symptomatic and general, with antibiotherapy associated with desensibilization.
