[Treatment of chronic uveitis with long-term administration of penicillin].

The authors followed up a group of 20 patients with chronic uveitis (10 men and 10 women), mean age 36.5 years. Despite treatment of the foci, they suffered on average from seven relapses of the disease, frequently several times in the course of one year. From the anamnestic aspect there was a significantly high number of spells of tonsillitis, respiratory infections and arthralgia. Half the cases of uveitis, mainly anterior, were bilateral. The patients suffered from dysimmunoglobulinaemia with low values of FW, ASLO, Latex. HLA B 27 was positive in five subjects. After one-year of Pendepon or Penclen administration (in half the patients with NORG) 18 patients did not develop a relapse for a period of 2-3 years. The method is simple, cheap, easy to use in field practice, in particular in junior patients. The clinical effect of treatment justifies the use of this method as an alternative of intermittent immunosuppression.

[Ocular changes in Gardner syndrome].

In hereditary adenomatosis of the large bowel (familial polyposis) extraintestinal manifestations of the disease are common: hyperostosis, dental anomalies, soft tissue tumours, desmoid tumours etc. Patients with marked extracolic signs are described as patients with Gardner's syndrome. Recently a further sign is described--foci of congenital hypertrophy of the pigmented retinal epithelium. The authors examined 22 patients with confirmed hereditary adenomatosis (Gardner's syndrome). The typical finding of pigmented foci on the fundus was recorded in 18 subjects (82%) incl. 9 subjects (50%) where the finding was bilateral. The authors examined also 25 children of these patients. In those a positive finding was recorded in 11 (44%). Ophthalmological examination can contribute in a significant way to detection of an asymptomatic subject with hereditary adenomatosis, in particular when seeking risk patients in an affected family. Evaluation of ophthalmological changes can also contribute to the solution of some special genetic problems of this disease.

[Laser therapy of diabetic retinopathy in pregnancy].

During the regular follow-up of risk pregnancies in the Central Bohemian region, concentrated at the First Obstetric Clinic in Prague, the authors detected 34 women with retinopathies. In nine they performed panretinal photocoagulation by means of an argon laser and recorded favourable results. The authors consider early laser therapy of retinopathies in pregnant diabetics useful and essential. Advanced forms of diabetic retinopathy in pregnant women still remain a contraindication of pregnancy. Pregnancy in diabetic women is always a risk and it would be a mistake not to take this fact into account.
