Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) is a rare autoimmune disease with heterogenous clinical manifestations. The classical lesion involves ocular conjunctiva that leads to progressive scarring and fibrosis which ultimately results in visual loss. We report a case of a young male, who had chronic conjunctivitis which remained un-responsive to conventional treatment and results in significant morbidity. Later, it was diagnosed as ocular cicatricial pemphigoid involving eyes, nasal cavity, larynx as well as skin. Patient received immuo-suppressive therapy, which helped in arresting the disease process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
