Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2015
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a bilateral, usually seasonally recurrent inflammation of the conjunctiva. Clinically characteristic findings are tarsal giant conjunctival papillae (> 1 mm) and/or limbal gelatinous changes (Trantas dots).

Topical indomethacin for vernal keratoconjunctivitis

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1991
Abstract Twenty‐five patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) were treated with 1% indomethacin eyedrops and were followed for 5 weeks. Apart from 4 patients all of them showed marked improvement. The possible mechanism of the role of indomethacin in VKC is discussed.

[Vernal keratoconjunctivitis].

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 2014
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) belongs to the group of allergic eye diseases. The incidence varies considerably, depending on the climate zone. In temperate climates VKC occurs only seasonally, while in hot climates it is mostly all year-round and rather more severe. Most commonly boys are affected in the first decade of life.

Immunopathological study of vernal keratoconjunctivitis

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 1989
The in situ immune reaction occurring in the conjunctival tissues of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis was studied using immunohistochemical techniques and a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. Our data point to a complex immunopathogenesis of the disease. The anaphylactic response was demonstrated by the presence of many eosinophils

Immunogenetic investigation in vernal keratoconjunctivitis

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2014
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis has been considered a multifac- torial condition resulting from complex interactions among genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors. The research of genetic characteristics and the identification of a specific HLA haplotype as a possible predictor of disease may contribute to elucidate the pathogenesis of the disease ...

Corneal Ectasia in Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis

Ophthalmology, 1989
The type of corneal ectasia, the presence of breaks in Descemet's membrane, and the success with contact lens wear or penetrating keratoplasty were studied in 61 patients with corneal ectasia and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. There were 53 patients with keratoconus, 5 with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration, 2 with keratoglobus, and 1 with superior ...

Corneal complications of vernal keratoconjunctivitis

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2015
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a severe bilateral chronic allergic inflammatory disease of the ocular surface. In most of the cases, the disease is limited to the tarsal conjunctiva and to the limbus. However, in the more severe cases, the cornea may be involved, leading to potentially sight threatening complications.
