Evolution of vision reducing cataract in skin smear positive lepromatous patients: does it have an inflammatory basis?
Cataract develops at the rate of 7%/person year in lepromatous patients over 40 years of age. It is associated with increasing age, subclinical intraocular inflammation, and grade 2 deformity.
Experimental data show that normal individuals may develop a migraine-like attack and that the human data point to different ways of further developing existing animal and human models.
