摘要

For the diagnosis of unclear intraocular inflammation, the collection of aqueous humor can provide substantial information. Specific procedures including microELISA, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cytokine analysis may provide essential diagnostic information. The correct indication and an adequate processing of ocular samples determine the quality and reliability of the laboratory results. This article describes the different considerations and processes that are important to ensure optimal results for these different diagnostic laboratory procedures.
