A chronic seat of infection more often than not situated in the E.N.T. area is responsible for remote pathological symptoms commonly called focal infection. The eye may be a target organ, where focal infection appears in the form of a uveitis. Four clinical observations are reported as demonstration. The transmission mechanism operates through an immune phenomenon from bacterial antigens which engender reactions of hypersensitivity. The E.N.T. specialist must be aware of these symptoms and seek a pharyngeal, sinusal or latent buccodental infection.
