[Immunity status in patients with injuries and diseases of the cornea].

Clinical and immunologic examinations of 97 patients with leukoma after corneal injuries and diseases have shown that immunity disorders are present in leukoma of whatever origin. The authors claim that preoperative treatment of the patients before keratoplasty should include study of the background immunologic tests, the most informative of these being the leukocyte migration inhibition test with the corneal antigen.
