title: [The significance of proteinase inhibitors in lacrimal fluid (author's transl)].
abstract: The significance of proteinase inhibitors in lacrimal fluid is discussed. While an increase is diagnostically important, localized deficiencies may lead to serious symptoms. To our knowledge this is the first time that local antiproteinase treatment has been described.
