Prevalence and Levels of Serum Antibodies to Gram Negative Microorganisms in Turkish Patients with HLA-B27 Positive Acute Anterior Uveitis and Controls

Abstract

Serum antibody positivity against Yersiniae enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni and Chlamydia trachomatis is not frequent in the HLA-B27 positive and negative AAU patients. Serum levels of IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies also did not show significant difference between three groups. No association between these microorganisms and the etiology of AAU was evident.
