title: [Phytohemagglutinin-induced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with uveitis].
abstract: Uveitis is a disease of unknown etiology. In development of the disease immunological abnormalities are considered. Studies include 20 patients (8 women and 12 men) at the age from 10 to 50 (average 32) with uveitis. The control group consists of 11 healthy persons. Presented findings show that local process in the eyeball doesn't modify PHA-induced mononuclear cell response in the lymphoblastic transformation test. The index of proliferation was the same in patients and healthy controls both before the treatment and after a month.
