Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and atopic (AKC) are potentially severe complex disease in its management among the various allergic eye diseases. In this regard, studies clarified etiopathogenetic mechanisms. The workup should be multidisciplinary. treatment includes topical systemic medications with anti-inflammatory immunosuppressant activity. However, a definition of nationally- internationally-shared diagnostic protocols would also needed validated access to therapeutic options proven...

The main VKC occur most frequently during spring tend get worse summer, meaning affected children...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the control ocular symptoms with cyclosporine or tacrolimus in eye drops allows improve sun exposure and therefore serum level vitamin D (VD; 25OHD), more severe forms vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).

In total, 60 them (first group) 11 (not responding therapy...
In this study, a sensitive quantitative method based on high performance liquid chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry, Q ExactiveTM-Orbitrap® was set up and applied for the determination of immunosuppressor agents cyclosporine A tacrolimus in novel ethanol-free ophthalmic formulations treatment Vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Different storage parameters terms temperatures practical usage conditions were investigated to assess stability all during shelf life simulating...
