Case Reports: Chemokine and Cytokine Profiling in Patients with Herpetic Uveitis
Cytokine/chemokine profiles of two patients with herpetic uveitis showed elevated levels of MCP-1, IP-10, IL-8, and IL-18 while IL-1RA was elevated in the chronic phase of hypertensive anterior uveitis. Further studies of cytokines and chemokines will improve our understanding of soluble mediators and potential targets for herpetic uveitis.
