title: [Topical cyclosporine in the treatment of ocular actinic prurigo].
abstract: METHODS
  A 14-year-old girl from Peru suffered severe limbitis and conjunctivitis. She also presented with clinical skin features diagnosed as actinic prurigo (AP). Her symptoms were successfully controlled with sustained topical therapy of 2% Cyclosporine A.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  AP is an idiopathic photodermatosis that affects mainly the hispanic population of Latin America. There are ocular signs of severe limbitis and conjunctivitis (like atopic keratoconjunctivitis) in 45% of cases. Literature on the subject is very limited and currently topical cyclosporine seems to be the best therapy available.
