  • Look Inside

We evaluated the inflammatory cells in the con-junctival epithelium in 31 patients with aqueoustear deficiency. The series comprised 16 cases withSjögren's syndrome and 15 without. Four normalsubjects served as control. Brush cytology was usedto quantitate the cells.

We observed significant increases in the numberof neutrophils and lymphocytes in the tarsal than inbulbar conjunctiva (p <0.05). There was no differ-ence in the number of inflammatory cells betweenSjögren's syndrome and the rest. The population oflymphocytes in the tarsal conjunctiva was larger inthe affected eyes than in the controls. Lymphocytesin the tarsal conjunctiva seemed to play a majorrole in the development of aqueous tear deficiency.
