Official Title: Cytokine Assay in Tears of Healthy Children and With Vernal Keratocunjonctivitis: Case Control Study and Monitoring of Cases at 6 Months
Brief Summary: The ocular surface may be the seat of an inflammatory process in many pathology as vernal keratoconjunctivitis. It has been shown that inflammatory cytokines produced by the cells themselves and the constituent cells of the target organ, are the main factors that cause inflammation.
