for both AqH and VF. We emphasize that the general opinion is that definite diagnosis must be made by cytologic or histopathologic evaluation of vitreous or retinochoroidal specimens that can be supported by IL-10 to IL-6 ratio. The present results suggest that the AqH IL-10 to IL-6 ratio may be as useful as the previously suggested vitreal IL-10 to IL-6 ratio and, thus, provides a less invasive alternative for the evaluation of these cytokines to support histopathology and immunocytologic evidence, or follow-up after treatment, for PVRL.
