We measured the serum levels of sialic acid in 12 patients with idiopathic acute iridocyclitis and 18 normal controls. Sialic acid levels were significantly elevated in the patients with idiopathic acute iridocyclitis. Since animal studies have shown that intraocular inflammation alone cannot elevate serum level of sialic acid, the result of our study suggest that idiopathic acute iridocyclitis may be a multiorgan disease with systemic effects.
我们检测了12例特发性急性虹膜睫状体炎患者和18名正常对照者的血清唾液酸水平。特发性急性虹膜睫状体炎患者的唾液酸水平显著升高。由于动物研究表明，单纯的眼内炎症不会升高血清唾液酸水平，我们的研究结果提示，特发性急性虹膜睫状体炎可能是一种具有全身影响的多器官疾病。
