Immunological aspects of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
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.
