Abstract excerpt

Ligneous conjunctivitis is an uncommon and recurrent type of chronic conjunctivitis. A prevalent cause of this disease is a Plasminogen deficiency, resulting from recessive mutations in the human encoding plasminogen (PLG) gene. This deficiency affects the conjunctiva and also other mucous membranes. Only few hundred cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of a 9-year-old boy with...
