Xeroderma pigmentosum and band-shaped nodular corneal dystrophy.

چکیده

Band-shaped nodular dystrophy in a young Bantu man suffering from a genetically determined solar sensitive disease lends credence to the possibility that band-shaped nodular dystrophy is a solar sensitive disease, as has so often been postulated.
