  • Title: [Systemic and local immunity in patients with diabetic retinopathy].
    Author: Ekgardt VF, Tarasova LN, Teplova SN, Alekhina TV.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 1998; 114(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 9584642.
    Abstract:
    Total-systems and local immunity parameters were assessed in the lacrimal fluid of 118 patients with nonproliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR). Humoral and cellular immunity characteristics of the total-systems immunity were shifted and local immune homeostasis impaired. The most manifest changes were detected in patients with proliferative DR. The authors hypothesize a possible contribution of local immune disorders to the pathogenesis of DR.
