Tarsal conjunctival scrapings of 317 patients with allergic ocular disease demonstrated that eosinophils were found infrequently in scrapings of patients with mild allergic conditions and were found in only 63% (17/27) of the patients with vernal conjunctivitis. In similar studies of a 12-year-old boy with vernal keratoconjunctivitis, no eosinophils were recovered in his scraping, even though 12 eosinophils were found in five high-power fields of his biopsy specimen. We conclude that eosinophils present in the deep and superficial conjunctival tissues may not be recovered in scrapings; their absence from scrapings should not preclude the diagnosis of allergic ocular disease.
对317例过敏性眼病患者的睑结膜刮片检查显示，轻度过敏患者的刮片中很少发现嗜酸性粒细胞，春季结膜炎患者中只有63%（17/27）的患者刮片中发现嗜酸性粒细胞。在一项针对一名12岁春季角结膜炎男孩的类似研究中，尽管在其活检标本的五个高倍视野中发现了12个嗜酸性粒细胞，但在他的刮片中未发现嗜酸性粒细胞。我们得出结论，结膜深层和浅层组织中存在的嗜酸性粒细胞可能无法在刮片中检测到；刮片中未发现嗜酸性粒细胞不应排除过敏性眼病的诊断。
