Debated issues of pathogenetic treatment of tuberculous uveitis

Abstract

The paper discusses promising approaches to pathogenetic treatment of tuberculous uveitis from the standpoint of the concept of free radical oxidation of lipids and antioxidant protection. An overview of medications currently used is provided. An experiment aimed at finding promising molecules with oxidative and antioxidant activity is reported // Russian Ophthalmological Journal, 2016; 3: 75-9. doi: 10.21516/2072-0076-2016-9-3-75-79.
