Ophthalmia nodosa is the nodular granulomatous inflammatory response of ocular tissue to caterpillar hairs. We experimentally simulated this condition by surgically implanting gypsy moth hairs in the rabbit cornea. We were not, however, able to produce ophthalmia nodosa solely by placing cilia in the rabbit cul-de-sac. The experimentally induced inflammation closely resembled human ophthalmia nodosa in both its clinical and histopathologic features.
结节性眼炎是眼部组织对毛虫毛发的结节性肉芽肿性炎症反应。我们通过手术将舞毒蛾毛发植入兔角膜来实验模拟这种情况。然而,仅将纤毛置于兔盲管内,我们无法产生结节性眼炎。实验诱导的炎症在临床和组织病理学特征上都与人类结节性眼炎极为相似。
