我们比较了10例春季结膜炎患者的定量组织学计数、15例隐形眼镜相关性巨乳头性结膜炎患者的计数和15例正常人的计数。春季结膜炎和接触镜相关性巨乳头性结膜炎受试者的上皮中肥大细胞异常，上皮和固有质中嗜酸性粒细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞异常。正常人没有这些异常。另外28例眼部炎症性疾病受试者进行了肥大细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞异常的组织评价。在4例受试者中发现少量嗜酸性粒细胞。春季结膜炎的组织学异常与隐形眼镜相关的巨乳头性结膜炎相同，但与一般结膜炎不同。春季结膜炎和隐形眼镜相关性巨乳头性结膜炎可能代表以巨乳头为特征的结膜异常的不同亚型。
We compared quantitative histologic counts of ten subjects with vernal conjunctivitis to counts of 15 subjects with contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis and to counts of 15 normal subjects. Both vernal conjunctivitis and contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis subjects had abnormalities of mast cells in the epithelium, and eosinophils and basophils in epithelium and substantia propria. No normal individuals had these abnormalities. An additional 28 subjects with ocular inflammatory conditions had tissue evaluation for abnormalities of mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils. A few eosinophils were found in four subjects. The histologic abnormalities of vernal conjunctivitis are shared by contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis but not by conjunctival inflammation in general. Vernal conjunctivitis and contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis may represent different subtypes of a general category of conjunctival abnormality characterized by giant papillae.
