Abstract

MAKGOTLOE, A. The intraocular CD4/CD8 ratio in a black South African patient with Behçet's disease uveitis. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2017, vol.107, n.1, pp.41-42. ISSN 2078-5135.  https://doi.org/10.7196/samj.2017.v107i1.12039.

A 33-year-old black South African male patient was referred to our uveitis service with a 5-year history of panuveitis refractory to treatment. He had an associated history of recurrent mouth and genital ulcers, predating the uveitis history by about 2 years. The measurement of his intraocular CD4/CD8 ratio helped make a diagnosis of Behcet's disease uveitis.
