Six elderly patients are described (age range 76-86 years) in whom a characteristic peripheral suppurative keratitis developed 1-36 months after uncomplicated cataract surgery. A corneal section had been used in all patients and four or five interrupted nylon sutures were present at the time of onset. Streptococcus pneumoniae was cultured from a corneal scrape in all cases. Treatment with appropriate antibiotics resulted in slow resolution though supplementary topical steroids were necessary in five of the six patients, and corneal opacification persists in all cases.
本文描述了6例老年患者（年龄范围76 - 86岁），他们在白内障手术无并发症后1 - 36个月发生了一种特征性的周边化脓性角膜炎。所有患者均使用了角膜切片，发病时存在四五根间断尼龙缝线。所有病例角膜刮片培养均发现肺炎链球菌。使用适当抗生素治疗后病情缓解缓慢，6例患者中有5例需要补充局部类固醇药物，所有病例均存在角膜混浊。
