반응형

Conjunctival suffusion은 다른 감염 질환에서 일반적인 소견은 아니며, 비특이적인 발열 환자에서 이것의 존재는 leptospirosis 가능성을 높입니다. 그러나 HFRS에서도 conjunctival suffusion이 존재할 수 있습니다.

Conjunctival suffusion, characterized by conjunctival redness, is an important but frequently overlooked sign; in one case series, it occurred in 55 percent of patients. This is not a common finding in other infectious diseases, and its presence in a patient with a nonspecific febrile illness should raise the possibility of leptospirosis. Subconjunctival hemorrhages also occur.
