We present this case to suggest that xerophthalmia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children from less developed countries with corneal leukomas, particularly when it is not clear if the opacities are congenital. With more children from less developed countries being referred for adoption in America, and with continuing refugee groups coming to America, other unsuspected cases of xerophthalmia may be seen.
我们展示此病例是为了表明，对于来自欠发达国家且患有角膜白斑的儿童进行鉴别诊断时，应考虑干眼症，尤其是当混浊是否为先天性尚不清楚时。随着越来越多来自欠发达国家的儿童被转介到美国进行收养，以及不断有难民群体来到美国，可能会发现其他未被怀疑的干眼症病例。
