[Immunological aspects of tuberculosis uveitis pathogenesis].
Based on clinical and immunological examinations of 251 patients with tuberculous uveitis (TU), 3 types of its course (productive, exudative, and mixed) were identified. The immunopathologic pattern of each type was found to be different: the productive type was characterized by delayed hypersensitivity, the exudative one had immediate hypersensitivity, and the mixed one had both. The immunogenetic markers of mixed TU were defined. These included HLA antigens, such as A2, B7, B21, and B27.
