Forty-four children aged 6 months to 14 years, suffering from endogenous uveitis of various sites were examined at different phases of the diseases by a scanning type apparatus, AGA-780M-thermographer (Sweden). The results permit a conclusion that long-distance thermography may be effectively used to assess the ocular status even in small restless children. Uveitis active phase was found associated with a hyperthermal reaction in all the examined sites. Hyperthermia was found related to uveitis localization. The authors suggest that thermoasymmetry parameters and the corneolimbic gradient be used as additional objective criteria for the assessment of uveitis activity and dissemination in children.
