Pseudomembranous conjunctivitis is commonly associated with infections. However, the normal flora of the human conjunctiva has been proven to harbour many of the microorganisms presumed to cause infective pseudomembranous conjunctivitis. We aimed to evaluate firstly the aetiology of pseudomembranes, and secondly the treatment of pseudomembranes. This case series exhibited foreign body as a common factor in the formation of pseudomembranous conjunctivitis requiring repeated foreign body and pseudomembrane removal with an early, sustained course of topical steroid for effective recovery.
假膜性结膜炎通常与感染有关。然而，已证实人类结膜的正常菌群中存在许多被认为可导致感染性假膜性结膜炎的微生物。我们旨在首先评估假膜的病因，其次评估假膜的治疗方法。该病例系列显示，异物是假膜性结膜炎形成的常见因素，需要反复清除异物和假膜，并早期持续使用局部类固醇药物才能有效恢复。
