  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We evaluated the cytokine-producing cells in the conjunctival smear in 3 male patients with vernal conjunctivitis. All were males aged 8, 12 and 20 years respectively. Flowcytometry was used to determine the frequency of interferon-r and interleukin-4 producing T cells. All the cases showed increase in the ratio of interferon- r/interleukin-4 producing T cells after treatment with topical or systemic corticosteroids. The findings suggest that this ratio of T cells in the conjunctival smear is related with the severity of vernal conjunctivitis.
