Tear lysozyme concentrations were measured on 47 patients with chronic blepharitis and 22 normal control patients. The patients consisted of 26 individuals with various types of chronic blepharitis alone and 21 individuals with chronic blepharitis and clinically-diagnosed keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). The mean lysozyme concentration of blepharitis patients without KCS (4070 micrograms/ml) was not significantly different from normals (3760 micrograms/ml). However, mean lysozyme concentration of the blepharitis patients with KCS (2530 micrograms/ml) was significantly lower than normals or blepharitis patients without KCS (p less than 0.01). It was concluded that tear lysozyme deficiency does not play a significant role in the etiology of chronic blepharitis. However, a large percentage of patients with chronic blepharitis were found to have KCS.
