Abstract
The authors evaluated the efficacy of interferon-alpha used intralesionally in the therapy of low-grade conjunctival non-Hodgkin lymphoma in an HIV-positive patient. The patient received one intralesional injection of 1,000,000 U of interferon-alpha three times a week for a total of twelve doses. The remission of conjunctival involvement was seen three months from the end of the therapy. The intralesional use of interferon-alpha can be considered an efficacious therapy for low-grade conjunctival non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Keywords
