Clinical clues predictive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome as the cause of chronic cicatrising conjunctivitis

What is it about?

This study describes a clinical scoring system that can help diagnose the cause of long-standing red eyes. This is important because the treatment of the red eye varies depending on the actual cause and a misdiagnosis can lead to inadequate and even improper treatment. This will be particularly helpful in resource limited settings of the developing world where documentation of prior medical care is insufficient.
