Granulomatous inflammatory reaction to degenerating Desçemet's membrane was found in histopathologic study of a keratoplasty specimen from a case of disciform keratitis following childhood varicella infection. The histologic findings suggest acquired autosensitivity to degenerating Desçemet's membrane as a likely cause for the chronic keratitis. Such a reaction may persist for many years in a corneal leukoma that, clinically, appears free of inflammation.
在对一名儿童水痘感染后盘状角膜炎患者角膜移植标本的组织病理学研究中，发现了对变性Descemet膜的肉芽肿性炎症反应。组织学结果提示，对变性Descemet膜的获得性自身敏感性可能是慢性角膜炎的病因。这种反应可能在角膜白斑中持续多年，而在临床上，角膜白斑似乎并无炎症表现。
