Prevalence of vernal keratoconjunctivitis and its associated factors among children in Gambella town, southwest Ethiopia, June 2018. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is a chronic bilateral severe form of allergic conjunctivitis which affects normal activities in school/work. It is a severe form of allergies in warm and dry tropical and sub-tropical countries. Its prevalence in Ethiopia ranges from 5.2% to7.3%. Most studies are institution based and do not address specific factors associated (...) with vernal keratoconjunctivitis. There is no a study that shows the magnitude of vernal keratoconjunctivitis in the study area.To assess the prevalence of vernal keratoconjunctivitis and its associated factors among children in Gambella town, Southwest Ethiopia, 2018.A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 25 to May 12, 2018, in Gambella town. A total of 578 study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire

Component-resolved diagnostics in vernal conjunctivitis. Conventional diagnostic tests in allergy are insufficient to clarify the origin of vernal conjunctivitis (VC).To evaluate IgE-mediated hypersensitivity by component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) in tears and serum from patients with VC and to evaluate how to treat patients with identified triggering allergens by specific immunotherapy.Patients were divided into 3 groups: (1) patients with VC (25 patients), (2) patients allergic to grass pollen (...) with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (AC) (50 patients), and (3) healthy blood donors (50 patients). If triggering allergens were detected, specific conventional immunotherapy was administered for 1 year.Twenty-five patients with VC were evaluated. The identified triggering allergens were n Lol p 1 (11 patients), n Cyn d 1 (8 patients), group 4 and 6 grasses (6 patients), and group 5 grasses (5 patients). Prick test and pollen IgE test results were positive in one patient. Clinical improvement was observed

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic allergic conjunctivitis that is most often seen in young, males. Although most types of allergic conjunctivitis do not affect vision, VKC is unusual in that damage to the cornea from the condition can result in vision loss. Although it is typically seasonal, year-round symptoms can be seen, which can lead to uncertain diagnoses being made. Although the pathophysiology of VKC is better understood in recent years, allowing

by an inflammation of the conjunctivitis with corneal involvement and tissue remodelling including papillae formation. It was first described by Arlt in 1846 who reported 3 cases of perilimbal swelling in young patients. The association with springtime (vernal) reflects the seasonal increase in signs and symptoms of the condition, particularly the high prevalence in hot, arid environments. Affected individuals have disease flares frequently during spring months, but can have signs and symptoms year round (...) Ciclosporin (Verkazia) - Conjunctivitis, Keratitis 30 Churchill Place ?

and not overly difficult to diagnose and treat when associated with rhinitis leading to allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. An ophthalmologist should be consulted when conjunctivitis occurs alone and if another form of conjunctivitis is suspected, such as perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC), vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC). When IgE-mediated hypersensitivity assessment does not establish aetiological diagnosis a conjunctival allergen provocation test (CAPT) can (...) Diagnosing and managing allergic conjunctivitis in childhood: the allergist's perspective. Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in childhood often poses problems of diagnosis and management for the allergist. We present the salient points concerning the diagnosis and treatment of ocular allergy (OA) emerging from a large cohort survey conducted jointly in the departments of ophthalmology and paediatric allergy in a French teaching hospital. Seasonal acute conjunctivitis (SAC) is a common disorder

Vitamin D levels in children affected by Vernal Keratoconjuctivitis. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic and often severe bilateral conjunctivitis. VKC etiology still remains unclear although endocrine, genetic, neurogenic and environmental factors have been implicated. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble prohormone whose main function is the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum vitamin D in children affected by VKC compared

Allergic conjunctivitis in Asia Allergic conjunctivitis (AC), which may be acute or chronic, is associated with rhinitis in 30%-70% of affected individuals, hence the term allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR/C). Seasonal and perennial AC is generally milder than the more chronic and persistent atopic and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Natural allergens like house dust mites (HDM), temperate and subtropical grass and tree pollen are important triggers that drive allergic inflammation in AC
