Microbial spectrum and antibiotic sensitivity in infantile dacryocystitis
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Jan 18, 2021
Qing H, Yang Z, Shi M, et al. - In this retrospective review, researchers sought to identify the features and the spectrum of microbial agents of infantile dacryocystitis and to evaluate the trends in both antibiotic sensitivities and pathogens over the past 10 years. Participants in the study were 546 patients [average age 2.97 ± 4.15 months and 42.7% were females] with infantile dacryocystitis (546 eyes) diagnosed at Henan Eye Hospital between January 2009 and December 2018. Infantile dacryocystitis is most commonly caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis. While significant trends have been observed to increase microbial sensitivity to certain antibiotics, including glycopeptides, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and lincosamides, significant trends have also been detected to decrease microbial sensitivity to amikacin.
