The LIT process was like being bitten by a giant mosquito for 16 times. The white blood cell inject from each donors is just 0.2 ml. Thanks to my 4 donors. I was warned that I may develop intense itch or pus in 24 hours and fever perhaps. I am just wondering on the efficacy of these 16 giant mosquito bites. Can this solve my immunologic problem? Wow! This is the true definition of faith!
Come what may! If it triggered my uveitis, so be it. Steriods to the rescue anyway. I will see my immunologist after 2 to 3 days.

Adverse effects of intradermal allogeneic lymphocyte immunotherapy: acute reactions and role of autoimmunity http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/2/429.full.pdf+html
The incidence of autoimmune disease was 0.1%. This is one in a thousand. I am not the unluckiest person in this planet. I am not a risk of GVHD (graft versus host disease) also. This usually occurs on consanguinous donors. Conclusion: The incidence of side effects are low therefore LIT treatment is justified.
