Bir İnfantta Adenoviral Konjonktivit Nedeniyle Oluşan Pseudomembranların Temizlenmesi

Bir aylık erkek bebek, bir haftadır gözlerinde şişlik ve çapaklanma şikâyetiyle muayene edildi. Sağ gözde daha şiddetli olmak üzere her iki gözde kapak ödemi, çapaklanma, konjonktivalarda hiperemi ve pseudomembran tespit edildi. Hastanın epidemik keratokonjonktivit salgınına bağlı konjonktivit geçirdiği düşünüldü ve pseudomembranları temizlendi. Tedaviye kortikostreoidli pomad eklendi. Hastanın bulgularının dört hafta sonra tamamen düzeldiği görüldü.

A one month-old baby was examined with the complaints of eyelids swollen and ocular discharge for one week. Eyelid edema, ocular discharge, conjunctival hyperemia and pseudomembrane in both eyes but more severe in the right eye were detected. It was considered that the patient had suffered outbreaks of conjunctivitis depends on the epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and pseudomembranes were removed. A corticosteroids ointment was added to the treatment. Four weeks later, the patient’s symptoms were completely recovered.
