Homozygous Mutations in the Plasminogen Gene of Two Unrelated Girls With Ligneous Conjunctivitis

1 Aug 1997

Abstract excerpt

Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare and unusual form of chronic pseudomembranous conjunctivitis that usually starts in early infancy. The disease may be associated with pseudomembranous lesions of other mucous membranes in the mouth, nasopharynx, trachea, and female genital tract. We examined two unrelated Turkish girls both suffering from ligneous conjunctivitis and occlusive hydrocephalus. Both children exhibited...
