Treatment of uveitis depends on the inhibition of the inflammatory reaction by corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents. "Climatotherapy" remains a controversial subject and is generally not accepted. To test its efficacy a pilot study was undertaken. Children with chronic iridocyclitis or intermediate uveitis were sent to Israel for 3 weeks. During the follow-up period of 26 months there was an initial regression of the inflammatory reaction in most cases, followed by varied courses depending on the severity of the disease. Although no definite conclusions can be drawn owing to the small number of patients (5) there might been a beneficial effect. It seems very difficult to prove the efficacy of such "treatment", since not only the climate but also many other environmental factors were changed.
葡萄膜炎的治疗依赖于使用皮质类固醇或免疫抑制剂抑制炎症反应。“气候疗法”仍然是一个有争议的话题，并且通常不被接受。为了测试其疗效，开展了一项试点研究。患有慢性虹膜睫状体炎或中间葡萄膜炎的儿童被送往以色列3周。在26个月的随访期内，大多数病例的炎症反应最初有所消退，随后根据疾病的严重程度出现不同的病程。尽管由于患者数量较少（5例）无法得出明确结论，但可能存在有益效果。似乎很难证明这种“治疗”的疗效，因为不仅气候，许多其他环境因素也发生了变化。
