[Clinical and cytological parallels in inflammatory diseases of the conjunctiva]
Abstract
The conjunctiva was examined in 52 patients with acute and chronic nonspecific conjunctivitis by impression cytology. Clinical course of conjunctivitis of different origin was correlated to the cytopathological changes in the conjunctival epithelium. The authors emphasize the high clinical value of the method in the diagnosis of inflammatory processes in the conjunctiva, monitoring of treatment, and prediction of the final result of therapy.
