[Course of acute traumatic uveitis and rate of secondary immunological insufficiency detection at pre-laboratory level].
Course of acute traumatic uveitis was evaluated in 146 patients with penetrating wounds of different severity in scores starting from the first days after the injury was inflicted and after operations performed in early terms after the injury. The inflammatory process normalized by weeks 2-3 in a favorable course, while in severe injuries and early reoperations and in wounds of the fourth degree of severity posttraumatic uveitis persisted during weeks 3-4, and 35.2% patients developed chronic posttraumatic uveitis. Clinical signs of immunological insufficiency, presenting mainly as the infectious syndrome (28%), were detected in 35.6% patients with penetrating injuries on the basis of case history analysis by means of a universal diagnostic chart and clinical findings. Penetrating wounds of the third and fourth degree of severity, reoperations during early terms after primary surgical treatment, chronic inflammatory diseases (mainly of the ENT and bronchopulmonary system, indicating secondary immunodeficiency, which necessitate prescription of immunocorrectors starting from the first days after the injury) are factors of risk of protracted or chronic course of posttraumatic uveitis.
