title: Alteration of human conjunctival epithelial proliferation.
abstract: We used in vitro bromodeoxyuridine to analyze the labeling indexes of conjunctival cells in several external eye diseases. Patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis, squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva, drug-induced pseudopemphigoid, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome had increased conjunctival DNA synthesis.
