Figure 2. Ocular mucositis revealed by
slitlamp and in vivo confocal microscopy. Slitlamp microscopy (left
panels) revealed corneal epithelial abnormalities characterized by two
patterns of turbulence (sheet-like or superficial punctate
keratopathy-like (SPK-like) lesions) that were highlighted by
fluorescein staining. Confocal microscopy (right panels) revealed
nonuniformity in size and intensity of superficial epithelial cells (A),
cellular defects in the superficial cell layer (B), atypical
arrangement of the multilayered structure of the epithelium (C),
and poorly defined Palisades of Vogt (POV; D).
