Immunohistological Study of Palpebral Lobe of the Lacrimal Gland in Severe Dry Eyes Secondary to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

Defective trafficking of AQP5 and variable expression of Ly, Lf, S-100 are the notable findings in the lacrimal glands of chronic SJS patients along with signs of early apoptosis. It suggests that the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland is involved in the pathological processes occurring in the conjunctiva of SJS patients.
