Zusammenfassung
744 lepröse, augenärztlich bislang unbehandelte Patienten wurden auf die Mitbeteiligung der Uvea untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß in beiden Verlaufsformen der Lepra die Mitbeteiligung der Uvea praktisch auf deren vordere Abschnitte beschränkt blieb. Patienten mit lepromatöser Verlaufsform zeigten um ein Vielfaches häufiger Komplikationen als Patienten in der tuberkuloiden Verlaufsform.
