Abstract

Bacterial colonisation of the cornea is described in two cases, one bilateral. Discreet, white, branching opacities are produced without associated inflammation. It is suggested that due to its aetiology "arborescent bacterial keratopathy" is a better name for this condition than "infectious crystalline keratopathy".

摘要

本文描述了两例角膜细菌定植病例，其中一例为双侧。角膜出现了不伴有炎症的、 discreet、白色、分支状混浊。鉴于其病因，“树枝状细菌性角膜病变”比“感染性结晶状角膜病变”更适合作为这种病症的名称。（注：discreet这个词在医学语境下可能有误，正常医学术语中应该是distinct之类的词更符合逻辑，这里暂且按照原文翻译）
