PURPOSE
To characterize the clinical presentation and report lab findings of follicular conjunctivitis in two patients with a positive history of active COVID-19 infection. . Two patients with follicular conjunctivitis with a recent history of COVID-19 infection.
DESIGN
Retrospective, noncomparative, case report.
METHODS
Demographic data including age, gender, and place of residence were recorded. A full exam with an emphasis on inflammatory characteristics and systematic workup. Sample follicles were surgically excised in selected cases, and molecular and histopathological analyses were performed.
RESULTS
Both patients were initially treated for viral conjunctivitis. After symptoms failed to resolve, biopsy results indicated that both patients were positive for chlamydia conjunctivitis and treated accordingly.
CONCLUSIONS
These cases illustrate the role of biopsy as an investigative tool in chronic conjunctivitis and the importance of having a broad differential when treating patients with acute conjunctivitis.
目的
描述两名有活动性新冠病毒感染阳性病史患者的滤泡性结膜炎临床表现并报告实验室检查结果。两名有滤泡性结膜炎且近期有新冠病毒感染病史的患者。
设计
回顾性、非对比性病例报告。
方法
记录包括年龄、性别和居住地点在内的人口统计学数据。进行全面检查，重点关注炎症特征和系统检查。在选定病例中手术切除样本滤泡，并进行分子和组织病理学分析。
结果
两名患者最初均接受病毒性结膜炎治疗。症状未缓解后，活检结果显示两名患者衣原体性结膜炎均呈阳性，并据此进行了治疗。
结论
这些病例说明了活检作为慢性结膜炎调查工具的作用，以及在治疗急性结膜炎患者时进行广泛鉴别诊断的重要性。
