Forty children with long-lasting or recurrent conjunctivitis were included in this etiological study. It is well known that purulent conjunctivitis is mainly bacterial, with a major source of infection from Chlamydia; recently, however, a greater percentage of viral forms, with the exception of conjunctivitis without secretion, has been reported. The authors focused their attention on the clinical symptoms and on bacteriological studies of the forms of Chlamydia and Mycoplasma conjunctivitis, highlighting their marked sensitivity to antibiotics and the clinical response and recommending the importance of an etiological study in all cases in which conjunctivitis does not resolve within a short period of time.
40名患有持续性或复发性结膜炎的儿童被纳入了这项病因学研究。众所周知，脓性结膜炎主要由细菌引起，主要感染源为衣原体；然而，最近有报道称，除了无分泌物的结膜炎外，病毒性结膜炎的比例更高。作者将注意力集中在衣原体和支原体性结膜炎的临床症状以及细菌学研究上，强调它们对抗生素的显著敏感性和临床反应，并建议在所有短期内未治愈的结膜炎病例中进行病因学研究的重要性。
