The level of circulating immune complexes (CIC) in 31 patients with primary anterior uveitis was determined by an ELISA method (C1q in solid phase). In addition, we measured antinuclear antibodies (ANA), HLAB 27, C3 and C4. Increased levels of CIC were found in 38% of patients (Group I), the remainder had normal levels (Group II). Positive ANA were found in 33% of patients in Group I and 26% of patients in Group II. The clinical findings and course of uveitis was similar in both groups. Chronic uveitis was associated to greater levels of CIC as compared to recurrent uveitis among patients in Group I (p less than 0.0001). Also, moderate sequelae from uveitis were associated to higher CIC levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
