Abstract
Ten years ago, we surmised that VKC could be provoked by chlamydia. 34 patients without any contamination of trachomatous origin were recently studied. We performed examinations of biopsies (histology and ultrastructure), serology, tissue group and specific allergen skin tests. Our findings indicate that Chlamydia could be an allergen provoking VKC in atopic patients.Entities:
