Two infants are described in whom identical strains of meningococcus were isolated from both the eyes and the cerebrospinal fluid. This suggests that the eye may be a portal of entry in at least some cases of perinatally acquired neonatal meningococcal disease and has important implications for the management of purulent conjunctivitis in the newborn.
本文描述了两名婴儿,从他们的眼睛和脑脊液中分离出了相同菌株的脑膜炎球菌。这表明,在至少某些围产期获得性新生儿脑膜炎球菌病病例中,眼睛可能是一个感染途径,这对于新生儿脓性结膜炎的治疗具有重要意义。
