Uveitis and immunological disorders encompass a wide spectrum of
potentially blinding diseases that are seen in daily practice by
many ophthalmologists. In recent years enormous progress has been
made understanding the principal mechanisms of inflammatory and
immunological processes in ocular disorders. The purpose of this
volume of Essentials in Ophthalmology is to provide the
ophthalmologist with our present understanding of the pathogenesis
of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a
practical approach to these diseases.
Uveitis and Immunological Disorders fits in the series of
Essentials in Ophthalmology to fill the gap between textbooks and
original research publications. With a broad spectrum of
contributions, including diseases affecting the conjunctiva, sclera
and cornea as well as intraocular inflammation, this publication
will serve not only as a valuable source of up-to-date information
for ophthalmologists but also be of interest to pediatricians,
specialists in internal medicine and dermatologists confronted with
inflammatory eye diseases. Although mainly focused on clinical
aspects of inflammatory eye diseases, several contributions address
aspects such as immune mechanisms and genetics of these
diseases.
