“…In other studies, HCV RNA was found to be present in the tears of patients with chronic hepatitis C. 9,16,17 As addressed by Mendel et al, the presence of RNA in tear fluid was independent of the severity of the hepatitis and the serum HCV RNA level should not be considered predictive of the presence of HCV RNA in tear fluid. 17 Jacobi et al also documented that there was no relation between blood and tear levels of HCV RNA and ocular involvement.…”

“…Verbaan et al (13) , examinando 21 indivíduos infectados pelo VHC, encontraram redução da produção lacrimal em 57%. Já Siagris et al (14) observaram valores obtidos no teste de Schirmer I diminuído em 34,4% de um total de 93 indivíduos infectados e Jacobi et al (15) verificaram diminuição da produção lacrimal, medida pelo teste de Jones (que avalia a produção lacrimal de maneira semelhante ao teste de Schirmer), em 50% dos pacientes com hepatite C estudados.…”

“…Die gesteigerte Osmolarität der Trä-nenflüssigkeit beim Sicca-Syndrom wirkt ebenfalls als proinflammatorischer Stimulus. Durch die Hyperosmolarität kommt es zur Aktivierung einer Gruppe von interzellulären Signalmolekülen im konjunktivalen Epithel und in der Tränenflüs-sigkeit, den sogenannten MAP-Kinasen, welche die Produktion von proinflammatorischen Zytokinen und Enzymen (IL-1, IL-8, TNF-α und MMP-9) vermitteln [15,20].…”
