Abstract
- Hydroa vacciniforme is a rare, chronic disease that is characterized by recur rent erythema and vesicles on uncovered skin within several days of sun exposure and is followed by healing with scarring. We have experienced a case of hydroa vacciniforme which involved the cornea, and we performed a penetra ting keratoplasty with a good result. We report this case with a review of the literature.
