Abstract

The role of neurotropic virus in the etiopathogeny of uveitis is being emphasized by recent findings. Serology of aqueous humor is the first step towards the diagnosis since it indicates in many cases a local production of specific antibodies. Different entities seem to correspond to different viral specificities. The relationship between measles virus and multiple sclerosis may be one of the most fascinating aspects of this problem.
