化学外傷における前眼部炎症に対する静注用アスピリンの効果

Intravenous aspirin for inflamed anterior segment in acute chemical burns

　化学外傷の症例5例5眼において，球結膜充血と前眼部疼痛に対するアスピリン静注剤の効果について検討した．殆どの症例で静注後1時間以内に球結膜充血や前眼部疼痛は著明に改善した．全症例が10日以内に何の合併症もなく，治癒した．アスピリン静注剤は化学外傷の治療に有効であった．

We treated 5 eyes with severe ocular pain and conjunctival hyperemia a few hours after chemical burns with a single intravenous injection of 100 ml of 0.9% aqueous solution of aspirin DL-lysine.

Within 1 hour after the injection, the ocular pain diminished markedly in all cases. Hyperemia of bulbar conjunctiva became inconspicuous in all but one eye with intense hyperemia. Almost complete recovery set in within 10 days in all the cases.

Intravenous aspirin thus was effective to treat eyes with chemical burns in the early stage.
