[Lacrimal IgE levels in chlamydia infections].
Dosage of tear IgE was performed in lacrimal fluid of 110 patients with chlamydioses (12 were trachomatous and 98 had a chlamydiosis serovar D through K). Simultaneously skinpatch testing and RASTS were evaluated. In half of cases, we found a rise of tear IgE. All these patients had documented allergy. We conclude that allergic treatment could be added.
