This case study describes an atypically severe attack of uveitis in a patient with HLA-B27-positive ankylosing spondylitis. Although TNF-inhibitor therapy was extremely effective regarding articular ...
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is important in organ transplantation protocols, as they determine the likelihood of rejection. The HLA system is little understood, however. In simple terms, the ...
