title: [The validation of and approaches to the use of immunocorrective agents in contusive eye trauma].
abstract: Patients with contusions of the eye of different severity were examined. The concentrations of cytokines (interleukin 1 beta, alpha-interferon, tumor necrosis factor-alpha), levels of immunoglobulins and circulating immune complexes were measured and organ-specific immunity was studied. Severe and medium-severe contusions of the eyeball were associated with immune shifts at a local and systemic levels. Shifts regarded as adaptation compensatory immune response were detected in medium-severe contusions. Severe contusions involve immunity disorders which are characteristic of developing secondary immunodeficiency. Postcontusion hemorrhages are a clinical factor of risk of pathogenetically unfavorable autoimmune reactions. The efficiency of immunocorrective drugs is discussed.
