title: [Diagnosis of uveitis with laboratory tests and specialized examinations].
abstract: The authors evaluated the importance of a large scale of laboratory examinations and specialized examinations in a group of 174 patients with endogenous uveitis examined at the uveological ambulance of the First Ophthalmological Clinic of the First Faculty, Charles University Prague. Laboratory examinations which are part of screening examinations are of little value for the diagnosis of uveitis. Alone they are unable to assess its type or prognosis. They cannot be recommended for routine work in the field. Only the incidence of phenotype HLA B27 in patients with anterior uveitis is, as compared with the healthy population, statistically significant (p < 0.005). Aimed collaboration with specialists from other disciplines is more important. The latter can on the basis of aimed examinations confirm or rule out systemic disease of a patient with uveitis suspected by the ophthalmologist.
