During the napoleonic expedition to Egypt (1798-1801), a new ophthalmic disease, the "egyptian ophthalmia", was discovered by the french physicians. We analysed a contemporary study published by the surgeon Jean-Dominique Larrey. The accuracy of the clinical description enables us to suggest hypotheses upon the origin if the egyptian ophthalmia: Weeks' conjunctivitis, gonorrheal conjunctivitis, trachoma. Treatments are also reviewed. Larrey is to be seen as a symbol of the transition from the old medical vision to modern clinical medicine.
在拿破仑远征埃及期间（1798 - 1801年），法国医生发现了一种新的眼科疾病——“埃及眼炎”。我们分析了外科医生让 - 多米尼克·拉雷发表的一项当代研究。临床描述的准确性使我们能够对埃及眼炎的病因提出假设：韦克斯结膜炎、淋病性结膜炎、沙眼。同时也回顾了相关治疗方法。拉雷可被视为从旧医学观念向现代临床医学转变的一个象征。
