title: Immunological aspects of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
abstract: Three patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) were treated by conjunctival resection. The results of immunological studies and histological examination of the excised tissue were unremarkable; none of seven criteria of antibody dependence were met. We found no specific immune defects in three patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
