Differential expression of tear film cytokines in Stevens–Johnson syndrome patients and comparative review of literature
Abstract To investigate the differential expression of tear cytokine levels among chronic Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) patients to better understand the role of significantly altered cytokines in disease development. Tear samples were collected using Schirmer strips in 24 eyes of chronic SJS, 24 e...

Abstract To investigate the differential expression of tear cytokine levels among chronic Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) patients to better understand the role of significantly altered cytokines in disease development.
