TI  - Immune recovery uveitis and human leukocyte antigen typing: a report on four 
      patients.
PG  - 607-9
AB  - PURPOSE: To report the typing of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in four human 
      immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV) patients with immune recovery uveitis 
      (IRU). METHODS: The medical history of four consecutive patients who presented at 
      the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Service (University Hospital San Raffaele, 
      Milan, Italy) with definite diagnosis of IRU is reported. The HLA typing was 
      tested in all patients. RESULTS: All patients presented the clinical and 
      ophthalmological characteristics of IRU. The HLA typing analysis showed the 
      presence of HLA B 8-18 in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: The data obtained from these 
      patients indicate the presence of the same HLA typing (B 8-18). The clinical 
      relevance of such association needs to be further evaluated.
