[Evaluation of the long-term therapeutic effect of bacterial vaccines administered 1960-1968 to patients with recurrent anterior uveitis]

AbstractThe authors evaluate after an interval of many years the effectiveness of treatment of relapsing anterior uveitis by streptococcal vaccines administered in the sixties by L. Klenka, I. Hána, M. Koleckárová. The evaluation is based on a survey conducted by means of questionnaires. After 21 years 91% of the respondents do not report relapses. The authors discuss possible reasons why this desensitization treatment is successful.
