MORERA BARRIOS, Luz M; VERDURA GONZALEZ, Tomás E; MARTINEZ LEGON, Zoila  and  RICARDO LORENZO, Rosa. Association of HLA antigens and ophthalmologic diseases. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2001, vol.17, n.1, pp. 7-18. ISSN 1561-2996.

The existance of some diseases of autoimmune infectious character and of other clinical conditions is more common in those individuals who express certain alleles of the main hystocompatibility system (MHS). Some of the hypotheses trying to explain this statistical association, among which there are some ophthalmological diseases, specially uveitis, keratitis, retinitis and neuritis, are reviewed. Such affections are described and an updated review of the association between them and the antigens of the main histocompatibility system are described

Keywords : HLA ANTIGENS; UVEITIS [complications]; KERATITIS [complications]; RETINITIS [complications]; NEURITIS [complications].
