Abstract
Pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC) is a form of ocular surface inflammation which is a unique clinical entity in children. It is also known as phlyctenular conjunctivitis and rosacea keratitis. A recent definition obtained with a modified Delphi method by a group of experts defined BKC as “a frequently underdiagnosed, sight‑threatening, chronic, and recurrent inflammatory eyelid margin disease associated with ocular surface involvement affecting children and adolescents. Its clinical spectrum includes chronic blepharitis, meibomitis, conjunctivitis, and corneal involvement, ranging from superficial punctate keratitis to corneal infiltrates with vascularization and scarring.” The pathophysiology of BKC is poorly understood but is believed to be related to staphylococcal hypersensitivity, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common flora cultured from the lids in BKC. The robustness of the inflammatory response is thought to be age‑related. The age of onset of BKC is often as early as age 3–5 but can present in adolescence. Gender predilection varies between studies but is roughly equal in incidence for males and females. There is little good natural history data reported on the time course of the disease, but it can become chronic with multiple exacerbations over a period of years. In one study from the United Kingdom, there is the observation of increased incidence of severe disease in younger boys with South Asian or Middle Eastern background.2 In our experience, however, severe disease can present in all ages and ethnic groups.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
