| Abstract | ABSTRACT: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is considered as a marker in many disorders, especially in sarcoidosis. The aim of this study was to assess ACE activity using Haiakari spectrophotometry in patients with non-sarcoidosis uveitis before and after treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 36 patients, including 21 adults and 15 children, were investigated. ACE concentration was increased mostly in patients with recurrent toxoplasmic and toxocaral iridocyclitis and choroiditis. RESULTS: It was demonstrated that concentration of ACE was increased especially in toxocariasis uveitis. After treatment the concentration of ACE was significantly decreased in all patients. |
