Purpose
To investigate the spectral domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SDAS-OCT) patterns in microbial keratitis (fungal and bacterial keratitis).Design
Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study.Methods
Twenty eyes of 20 patients with proven fungal and bacterial microbial keratitis, at different stages of the disease, underwent SDAS-OCT imaging.Results
Eight eyes presented with proven bacterial keratitis (3 Staphylococcus Aureus, 2 Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and 3 Staphylococcus Epidermidis). Twelve eyes presented with proven fungal keratitis of Aspergillus species. Twelve different SDAS-OCT presentations of fungal and bacterial keratitis were found in this study. Our findings in fungal keratitis grasped two unique patterns of early localized and diffuse necrotic stromal cystic spaces.Conclusion
SDAS-OCT imaging provided a range of characteristic patterns that could be used as an additional tool in diagnosis and management of bacterial and fungal microbial keratitis. 相似文献2.

Purpose
To identify the associated factors and study the clinical and microbiological characteristics of corneal ulcers resulting in evisceration and enucleation in elderly patients in a tertiary care hospital.Methods
A review of all patients who required evisceration or enucleation due to microbial keratitis at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne, Australia between July 1998 and November 2007 was performed. Of these, patients more than 60 years of age were included in the study for analysis.Results
Forty-seven patients with microbial keratitis were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 81?±?9.39 years. Major ocular factors associated were glaucoma (49%), persistent corneal epithelial defect (38%) and use of corticosteroid eye drops (23%). Most common associated systemic factor was rheumatoid arthritis (36%). The indications for evisceration or enucleation were extensive non-healing microbial keratitis (22/47) and corneal perforation secondary to microbial keratitis (17/47). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common pathogen, present in 15 patients, and more than 45% of the strains tested were resistant to chloramphenicol.Conclusions
Corneal ulcers that result in the loss of eye in elderly population are frequently associated with glaucoma and persistent epithelial defects. The majority of these cases have non-healing microbial keratitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献3.

Purpose:
To review the epidemiological characteristics, microbiological profile, and treatment outcome of patients with suspected microbial keratitis.Materials and Methods:
Retrospective analysis of a non-comparative series from the database was done. All the patients presenting with corneal stromal infiltrate underwent standard microbiologic evaluation of their corneal scrapings, and smear and culture-guided antimicrobial therapy.Results:
Out of 5897 suspected cases of microbial keratitis 3563 (60.4%) were culture-proven (bacterial – 1849, 51.9%; fungal – 1360, 38.2%; Acanthamoeba – 86, 2.4%; mixed – 268, 7.5%). Patients with agriculture-based activities were at 1.33 times (CI 1.16–1.51) greater risk of developing microbial keratitis and patients with ocular trauma were 5.33 times (CI 6.41–6.44) more likely to develop microbial keratitis. Potassium hydroxide with calcofluor white was most sensitive for detecting fungi (90.6%) and Acanthamoeba (84.0%) in corneal scrapings, however, Gram stain had a low sensitivity of 56.6% in detection of bacteria. Majority of the bacterial infections were caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis (42.3%) and Fusarium species (36.6%) was the leading cause of fungal infections. A significantly larger number of patients (691/1360, 50.8%) with fungal keratitis required surgical intervention compared to bacterial (799/1849, 43.2%) and Acanthamoeba (15/86, 17.4%) keratitis. Corneal healed scar was achieved in 75.5%, 64.8%, and 90.0% of patients with bacterial, fungal, and Acanthamoeba keratitis respectively.Conclusions:
While diagnostic and treatment modalities are well in place the final outcome is suboptimal in fungal keratitis. With more effective treatment available for bacterial and Acanthamoeba keratitis, the treatment of fungal keratitis is truly a challenge. 相似文献4.

Purpose
To study the clinical and microbiological profile of microbial keratitis in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).Study design
Case series.Participants
Patients with SJS who developed microbial keratitis.Methods
Medical records and microbiological data of patients with SJS who developed microbial keratitis from January 1991 to December 2012 were reviewed. We analysed the type of causative organisms and their antibiotic susceptibility along with the clinical pattern and responses to medications in this group of patients.Main outcome measure
Clinical and microbiological profile of microbial keratitis.Results
We reviewed 65 eyes of 60 patients seen between January 1991 and December 2012. Positive microbiological culture results were obtained in 45 eyes (69.2%). Isolated bacterial infections were noted in 27 eyes (60%) while isolated fungal growth was seen in 1/45 eyes (2.2%). Polymicrobial infections were noted in 17/45 eyes (37.8%). The most common bacteria isolated were Staphylococcus species (35%). The median duration of SJS before presentation was 5 months (IQR, 2 months to 7 years) with 50% presenting within four months of the onset of SJS. Twenty-eight eyes (43%) needed treatment in addition to antibiotics for resolution of tarsorraphy, epilation, tissue adhesive application, and amniotic membrane grafting or punctal cautery. The average time for resolution was 25 days.Conclusion
Microbial keratitis in SJS patients is different from patients without SJS in presentation and the response to medications. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach for healing. 相似文献7.

Purpose
To determine the incidence and microbiological profile of mycotic keratitis seen at a tertiary care eye hospital.Materials and methods
A retrospective review of microbiology records of patients presenting with suspected microbial keratitis seen between January 2006 and December 2009 was performed. Patients with positive fungal cultures were further analyzed for the type of fungus isolated and associated bacterial pathogens.Results
Microbiology records of 2300 patients with suspected microbial keratitis were reviewed. A microbiological diagnosis of mycotic keratitis was established in 87 (3.8%) patients over a four year period based on positive fungal cultures. The yearly incidence of mycotic keratitis was 3.2% (2006), 4.9% (2007), 3.3% (2008) and 3.6% (2009). Filamentous fungi were isolated more often than yeasts. Aspergillus species followed by Fusarium species and Trichophyton species were the commonest filamentous fungi isolated while Candida albicans was the most frequently encountered yeast. Mixed infections due to fungal and bacterial pathogens were seen in 25/87 (28.7%) patients.Conclusion
Cumulative incidence of mycotic keratitis was 3.8% over a four year period. Aspergillus species and Candida albicans were the most frequent pathogenic organisms causing mycotic keratitis in this part of the world. Mixed infections were seen in 28.7% of the patients. Knowledge of the “local” etiology within a region may be valuable in the management of mycotic keratitis in instituting an empirical therapy, especially when facilities for microscopy, cultures and antifungal susceptibility are not readily available. The baseline information presented will also be helpful in the planning of a corneal ulcer management strategy and for future studies on mycotic keratitis. 相似文献8.

AIMS—To determine the quantitative relation between the major risk factors for microbial keratitis of previous ocular surface disease and contact lens wear and central and peripheral infiltration, often associated with ulceration, in order to establish a rational chemotherapeutic management algorithm.
METHODS—Data from 55 patients were collected over a 10 month period. All cases of presumed microbial keratitis where corneal scrapes had been subjected to microbiological examination were included. Risk factor data and laboratory outcome were recorded. Antimicrobial regimens used to treat each patient were documented.
RESULTS—57 episodes of presumed microbial keratitis were identified from 55 patients, 24 male and 31 female. There were 30 central infiltrates and 27 peripheral infiltrates of which 28 were culture positive (73% of central infiltrates, 22% of peripheral infiltrates). 26 patients had worn contact lenses of whom 12 had culture positive scrapes (9/14 for central infiltrates, 3/12 for peripheral infiltrates). 31 patients had an ocular surface disease of whom five previous herpes simplex virus keratitis patients developed secondary bacterial infection. Anterior chamber activity and an infiltrate size 4 mm2 were more common with culture positive central infiltrates than peripheral infiltrates (χ2 test = 11.98, p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS—Predisposing factors for "presumed" microbial keratitis, either central or peripheral, were: ocular surface disease (26/57 = 45.6%), contact lens wear (26/57 = 45.6%), and previous trauma (5/57 = 8.8%). Larger ulceration (4 mm2) with inflammation was more often associated with positive culture results for central infiltration. None of these four variables (contact lens wear, ocular surface disease, ulcer size, anterior chamber activity) were of intrinsic value in predicting if a peripheral infiltrate would yield identifiable micro-organisms. Successful management of presumed microbial keratitis is aided by a logical approach to therapy, with the use of a defined algorithm of first and second line broad spectrum antimicrobials, for application at each stage of the investigative and treatment process considering central and peripheral infiltration separately.

Purpose
To investigate the clinical presentation, isolated organism, treatment, and morbidity of contact lens–associated microbial keratitis needing hospitalization.Methods
This retrospective study included all consecutive patients with contact lens–associated microbial keratitis hospitalized in the Rotterdam Eye Hospital from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2009. All data regarding epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentation, isolated organism, and treatment were collected from medical records.Results
There were 109 cases (108 patients) of contact lens–associated microbial keratitis hospitalized during the study period. Mean age was 33.3?±?15.4 (SD) years. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequently isolated microorganism (68.8 %), with minor resistance to gentamicin (2.7 %) and ofloxacin (1.3 %). At time of presentation, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was very poor, with the largest proportion of patients (65.1 %) seeing worse than 0.05 Snellen. After intensive treatment, the visual outcome improved considerably, with the largest proportion (67.0 %) achieving a BCVA?≥?0.7 Snellen. Low BCVA at admission was significantly associated with a worse final BCVA. A total of 22 patients (20.2 %) required corneal transplantation (three emergency cases). Larger size of stromal infiltrate was significantly associated with the need for corneal transplantation.Conclusion
Microbial keratitis is a serious complication of contact lens wear, with approximately one out of five hospitalized cases requiring corneal transplantation. Ofloxacin, or a combination of gentamicin and cephazolin, still appear to be excellent first-choice therapies in the Netherlands, as little resistance has developed to these antibiotics. 相似文献12.

Background
Therapy of S. aureus keratitis is increasingly challenging due to emerging resistant strains. Staphylolysin (LasA protease) is a staphylolytic endopeptidase secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of the current study was to study the effect of treatment with staphylolysin on experimental keratitis caused by various Staphylococcus aureus strains. 相似文献17.

Purpose:
To investigate independent risk factors for contact lens-related microbial keratitis in Singapore and estimate their impact on disease load.Methods:
Cases were contact lens wearers presenting to Singapore National Eye Centre with microbial keratitis between 2008 and 2010. Community contact lens wearers were recruited as controls. All wearers completed a previously validated questionnaire describing contact lens wear history, hygiene and compliance habits, and demographics. Risk factors significant in univariate analysis (P<0.2) were evaluated in a multivariate model.Results:
In all, 58 cases of microbial keratitis and 152 contemporaneous controls were identified. When controlling for other variables, Chinese had a 7 × lower risk compared with other races (95% CI: 2.3–21.3, P=0.001). Those aged between 25 and 44 years were at 3 × increased risk compared with younger wearers (95% CI: 1.1–9.6, P=0.04). Occasional overnight contact lens wear (less often than one night per week) was associated with a 4 × higher risk (95% CI: 1.2–15.4, P=0.03) compared with daily use. Not washing hands before handling was associated with a 13 × increased risk (95% CI: 1.9–84.8, P=0.008). Use of multipurpose solution A carried a 16 × higher risk compared with hydrogen peroxide (95% CI: 1.5–174.0, P=0.02). The combined PAR% for modifiable risk factors (occasional overnight wear, not washing of hands, and MPS A) was 82%.Conclusions:
Consistent with previous findings, independent risk factors for contact lens-related microbial keratitis include poor hand hygiene, occasional overnight wear, and type of lens care solution. Prolonged overnight or extended contact lens use was infrequent in this population. 相似文献20.
