Abstract excerpt

Severe type I plasminogen deficiency is the underlying cause of ligneous conjunctivitis, a rare disease characterized by wood-like pseudomembranes developing on the ocular and extraocular mucosa. Two unrelated female patients with ligneous conjunctivitis and moderate hypoplasminogenemia are described. Being of fertile age, they were treated with oral contraceptives, which determined a marked increase in...
