title: [The characteristics of the clinical course of the wound process in the eye].
abstract: Clinical course of wound process in the eye was studied in 279 patients with penetrating wounds of different severity. Modern microsurgical and drug treatment of penetrating wounds results in a favorable course in 2/3 (77.4%) of patients, while in the rest 22.6% the course of healing was complicated by intraocular infection (10.7%) and chronic noninfectious posttraumatic uveitis (11.7%). Risk factors of a complicated course were defined, among which of special importance are specific features of the injury and secondary immunodeficiency, clinically manifesting by chronic inflammatory diseases, predominantly of the ENT organs and bronchopulmonary system.
