  • Title: Cross reactivity between Klebsiella pneumoniae and ocular tissue.
    Author: Ashaye AO, Perkins ES.
    Journal: Afr J Med Med Sci; 1992 Oct; 21(1):73-8. PubMed ID: 1288247.
    Abstract:
    Klebsiella pneumoniae has been implicated as a possible aetiological agent in ankylosing spondylitis and acute anterior uveitis. Cross-reactivity between antigens of klebsiella and bovine vitreous has been reported. In the present study sera from rabbits immunised with Klebsiella pneumoniae was tested against fresh guinea pig and human ocular tissues using immunodiffusion and immunofluorescent methods. No cross-reactivity between klebsiella and the ocular tissues used could be demonstrated by these techniques.
