The authors report a Kuwaiti Arab family in which the father and one of his two sons have severe hypolacrimation with blotchy staining of the cornea and punctate staining of the interpalpebral bulbar conjunctiva by fluorescein and Rose Bengal. Pharmacologic testing together with biochemical analysis and systemic examinations and investigations suggest an isolated dysfunction of lacrimation. The authors' small Arab family differs from the only other recorded pedigree (Irish) in which all five affected members in four generations also had atopy.
作者报告了一个科威特阿拉伯家庭，该家庭中父亲及其两个儿子中的一个患有严重的泪液分泌不足，角膜有斑点状染色，荧光素和孟加拉玫瑰红染色显示睑裂区球结膜有点状染色。药理学测试、生化分析、全身检查和调查表明存在孤立的泪液分泌功能障碍。作者所研究的这个小阿拉伯家庭与另一个有记录的家系（爱尔兰家系）不同，在爱尔兰家系中，四代中的所有五名患病成员也都有特应性。
