The literature was reviewed regarding treatment of ligneous conjunctivitis with plasminogen.</p><p>Results: The patient was treated with plasminogen containing drops derived from her father's fresh frozen plasma. The ligneous conjunctivitis resolved, and the patient was managed on these drops for the following 8 years, initiating treatment for flares and tapering according to clinical response.</p><p>Conclusions: Plasminogen drops concentrated from fresh frozen plasma are a safe and effective option for long-term treatment of ligneous conjunctivitis.</p> | ||
