Uveitis with autoimmune hepatic disorders.
Many cases of uveitis are thought to be autoimmune in nature. We report two cases of panuveitis, one of which was associated with chronic active hepatitis and the other with primary biliary cirrhosis. This suggests that the autoimmune disturbance may have been responsible for the development of the intraocular inflammation.
