註釋Ocular Immunology in Health and Disease is designed to provide the reader with a review of the basic concepts in immunology. A thorough introductory section is followed by a discussion of the unique attributes of ocular immunity and the basis of ocular immune privilege. An explanation of the specific humoral and cellular immune properties of each segment of the eye is also included. Immune mechanisms used by the eye to counter infectious organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoan parasites are discussed, citing specific examples such as AIDS. Similarly, the response of the eye to allergens is described, trailed by a description of autoimmune diseases of the eye. Dr. Koevary's work concludes with chapters on ocular tumors and the immunology of corneal transplant rejection.
