Production des cytokines Th1/Th2 et du monoxyde d′azote au cours de l'uvéite « Behçet » et de l'uvéite « idiopathique »

The predominance of the Th1 profile was associated with high production of NO in idiopathic uveitis. A Th1/Th2 profile with a moderated increase in NO production was observed in Behçet's disease. Our data have a clinical impact. The observation of combined Th1/Th2 cytokines and NO elevation in both in vivo an in vitro experiments could have a predictive value in characterizing uveitis associated with Behçet's disease.
