Abstract
The pathogenesis of uveitis is not entirely clear. Diverse clinical and experimental findings support the participation of immunologic mechanisms. In fact, uveitis may appear along with many immunologic systemic diseases. In this article, possible etiologic agents of uveitis are described and experimental models discussed. The immunologic mechanisms are analyzed and a unifying hypothesis is presented.
