Two cases of periorbital dermatitis and one case of keratoconjunctivitis following contact with blister beetle are presented. In Tanzania and Kenya the commonest blister beetle is known as Nairobi Fly and is of the genus Paederus. Ocular symptoms are common, usually secondary to transfer by the fingers of the toxic chemical involved from elsewhere on the skin. Blister beetle keratoconjunctivitis has not previously been described in detail.
本文报告了2例接触水疱甲虫后发生的眶周皮炎和1例角膜结膜炎。在坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚，最常见的水疱甲虫被称为内罗毕蝇，属于隐翅虫属。眼部症状很常见，通常是由于皮肤上其他部位的有毒化学物质通过手指转移所致。此前尚未对水疱甲虫性角膜结膜炎进行过详细描述。
