  • Title: Limited gallium scans and angiotensin converting enzyme in granulomatous uveitis.
    Author: Weinreb RN, Barth R, Kimura SJ.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1980 Mar; 87(3):202-9. PubMed ID: 6252528.
    Abstract:
    The use of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and limited gallium scans of the head, neck, and chest for patients with granulomatous uveitis is described. Mean serum ACE activity was elevated in patients with granulomatous uveitis regardless of the presence of systemic sarcoidosis. Furthermore, pathologic gallium uptake was noted in lacrimal glands, parotid glands, and lungs in some cases. These results indicate that sarcoidosis may be more common than previously believed in these patients.
