In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Evaluation of Corneal Nerve Fibers and Dendritic Cells in Patients With Behçet’s Disease

In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Evaluation of Corneal Nerve Fibers and Dendritic Cells in Patients With Behçet’s Disease

Central and peripheral nervous system involvement may occur during the course of Behçet’s disease (BD). In vivo corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) can detect corneal small fiber damage and immune cell density. The aim of this study was to assess central corneal sensitivity, corneal subepithelial nerv...
