Ocular leprosy is rarely seen in developed countries. We report the long-term follow-up of a patient with bilateral uveitis, glaucoma, and keratitis. Skin, iris and aqueous humor biopsies disclosed abundant Wade-Fite-positive organisms consistent with Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy must be considered in the differential diagnosis of keratitis and uveitis.
在发达国家,眼部麻风病很少见。我们报告了一名患有双侧葡萄膜炎、青光眼和角膜炎患者的长期随访情况。皮肤、虹膜和房水活检发现大量Wade-Fite阳性微生物,与麻风分枝杆菌一致。在角膜炎和葡萄膜炎的鉴别诊断中必须考虑麻风病。
