Corneal autoimmunity in a patient with relapsing polychondritis.

Abstract
We report our experiences with a patient with relapsing polychondritis, in whom circulating antibodies against corneal epithelium were determined by immunofluorescence before and after medical treatment. The results provide further evidence for an autoimmune pathogenesis of the disease.
