| Abstract;We measured the vitreous level of interleukins (IL) in 4 patients with primary intraocular lymphoma and in 3 patients with uveitis. IL-10 was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and IL-6 using a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA). The levels of IL-10 were higher than IL-6 in all the 4 patients with primary intraocular lymphoma and in none of 3 patients with uveitis. Two patients of intraocular lymphoma with eventual involvement of the central nervous system showed higher values of IL-10 than the other 2 without intracranial involvement. The findings show that the ratio of intravitreal IL-10 to IL-6 may serve as a guide in the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. (author abst.) |
