Corneal allograft rejection is known to have many risk factors, including ocular infection and inflammation. Although not reported in the literature, local nonocular inflammation may also have the ability to incite a graft reaction. We report 2 cases, one with dental inflammation and the other with a facial abscess, with simultaneous corneal transplant rejection. Possible pathophysiology and a review of the literature are given.
已知角膜同种异体移植排斥反应有许多危险因素,包括眼部感染和炎症。虽然文献中未报道,但局部非眼部炎症也可能引发移植反应。我们报告2例病例,1例伴有牙齿炎症,另1例伴有面部脓肿,同时发生角膜移植排斥反应。本文给出了可能的病理生理学机制并对文献进行了综述。
