Aqueous Humor Proteins in Uveitis

Herpetic uveitis: The masquerader

“…Herpes simplex virus was documented in 83% of these patients and 90% had elevated intra ocular pressure. Occurrence of glaucoma in patients with HSV uveitis could be due to secondary angle closure due to pupillary block by posterior synechiae or it could be due to increase in aqueous viscocity from elevated proteins, fibrin and inflammatory cells [20,21] . Damage to the cells within the trabecular meshwork by HSV 1 infection has also been implicated as a possible cause of elevated IOP [22] .…”

Distribution of Tritiated Benzylpenicillin in the Rabbit Eye

“…A decrease in the outflow is not lilcelv because of the rapid decline of the penicillin level after the maximum. One can rather conclude that the increased protein concentration in the aqueous humor of the infected eye (Peretz andTomasi, 1961, Schumacher, 1967) plays a role. Thus the great penicillin concentration in the aqueous humor may primarily be due to the easy penetration of protein-bound penicillin, since about 50 per cent of serum benzylpenicillin is protein-bound (Langham, 1951, Scholtan andSchmid 1963).…”
