title: [Immunologic peculiarities of uveitis concurrent with systemic pathologies].
abstract: Immunologic examinations were performed in 111 patients with uveitis concurrent with a variety of systemic pathologies, including 85 males and 26 females, mean age--32.4 +/- 5.8. A higher IL-6 content in blood serum (BS) and in lachrymal fluid (LF) was detected in all patients. The IL-4 content was lower in uveitis associated with ankylosing spondylitis and with Reuter's disease, whereas, it was higher in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The systemic immunity changes were related with the hemostasis impairments in the phagocytic, humoral and cellular chains: an enhanced functional activity of phagocyte cells, a lower absolute quantity of T-lymphocytes, a higher count of B-cells, a reduced concentration of IgM and of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and a diminished general hemolytic activity of the complement in BS. A reduced concentration of the secretory fraction of IgA, IgG and IgM concurrent with higher concentrations of IgA, C3- and C4 complement components, CIC and of lysozyme activity in LF was detected in the local immunity system.
