[Concentration of selected cytokines in subretinal fluid in patients with retinal detachment (IL-8, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma)].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of IL-8, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma in subretinal fluid of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.


METHODS
We studied 15 patients operated on retinal detachment. The presence of cytokines was evaluated using immunoenzymatic assay.


RESULTS
IL-8, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were found in all subretinal fluid samples. The concentration of cytokines in patients with retinal detachment lasting to 2 months was higher than in cases of retinal detachment over 2 months.
