potassium peroxymonosulfate (RUBYSTA
®,
KYORIN) against five epidemic
keratoconjunctivitis-related types of
Human adenovirus D in vitro.
METHODS
Five types of
HumanTo describe in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) features of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in immunocompetent adult patients.
Patients suspected clinically to be suffering from microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis (ie, presence of unilateral follicular and/or papillary conjunctivitis in
OBJECTIVE
To examine the effects of topical 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine treatment on tear-film osmolarity, conjunctival goblet-cell densities, and corneal epithelial glycogen levels in a rabbit model for keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
METHODS
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca was surgically induced in the
BACKGROUND
Microsporidia are intracellular parasites responsible for human infections. Recently, there has been an increase in the incidence of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis (MKC) affecting normal individuals worldwide.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the characteristics of MKC in an Indian
The study of the characteristics of the phagocytic activity of peripheral blood neutrophils (the activity and intensity of phagocytosis, the index of its completeness) in the sensitized organism in experimental keratoconjunctivitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli has revealed a
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in an HIV-seronegative.
METHODS
We report on a 40-year-old woman who presented with acute symptoms of 4 days' duration. Visual acuity was 6/6 in the right eye and 6/6 partial in the left eye. In the left eye, there was diffuse
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical and microbiological profile of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in immunocompetent individuals in southern India.
METHODS
Retrospective noncomparative case series.
METHODS
Nineteen cases of microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis diagnosed between January 2002 and
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical and microbiological profile of patients with microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in a tertiary eye care centre in India.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of medical records of all cases of microbiologically confirmed microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis, who presented
The flow rate and composition of whole unstimulated saliva were measured in fifteen healthy controls and in forty-eight xerostomic patients, fourteen suffering from xerostomia per se, twenty-two from xerostomia with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and twelve from xerostomia, KCS, and rheumatoid
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the cytotoxic effect of three kinds of topical ocular anti-allergic agent, including olopatadine 0.1% (A group), ketotifen fumarate 0.025% (B group) and pemirolast potassium 0.1% (C group), on cultured human corneal epithelial cells in vitro.
METHODS
Primary human corneal
OBJECTIVE
To report a series of patients who developed corneal toxicity after exposure to aquarium coral palytoxin.
METHODS
Multicenter retrospective case series.
METHODS
Retrospective review.
RESULTS
Seven patients presented with corneal findings ranging from superficial punctate epitheliopathy to
Dried tears from keratoconjunctivitis sicca eyes fail to exhibit the fern-like crystallization patterns observed with tears from eyes with normal tear function. To test our hypothesis that the extent of ferning depends on the ratio of salts to protein and mucin in the tear sample, dried tears from
