Eye Infections, Fungal
Infection by a variety of fungi, usually through four possible mechanisms: superficial infection producing conjunctivitis, keratitis, or lacrimal obstruction; extension of infection from neighboring structures - skin, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx; direct introduction during surgery or accidental penetrating trauma; or via the blood or lymphatic routes in patients with underlying mycoses.
Keratitis
Inflammation of the cornea.
Stomach Ulcer
Ulceration of the GASTRIC MUCOSA due to contact with GASTRIC JUICE. It is often associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Duodenal Ulcer
A PEPTIC ULCER located in the DUODENUM.
Corneal Perforation
A puncture or hole through the CORNEAL STROMA resulting from various diseases or trauma.

Peptic Ulcer
Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Administration, Topical
The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.
Cornea
The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)
Ophthalmic Solutions
Sterile solutions that are intended for instillation into the eye. It does not include solutions for cleaning eyeglasses or CONTACT LENS SOLUTIONS.
Leg Ulcer
Ulceration of the skin and underlying structures of the lower extremity. About 90% of the cases are due to venous insufficiency (VARICOSE ULCER), 5% to arterial disease, and the remaining 5% to other causes.
Pressure Ulcer
An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the SKIN and TISSUES when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ISCHEMIA) under sustained and constant pressure.
Contact Lenses, Hydrophilic
Soft, supple contact lenses made of plastic polymers which interact readily with water molecules. Many types are available, including continuous and extended-wear versions, which are gas-permeable and easily sterilized.
Skin Ulcer
Fusariosis
OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS with the soil fungus FUSARIUM. Typically the infection is limited to the nail plate (ONYCHOMYCOSIS). The infection can however become systemic especially in an IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST (e.g., NEUTROPENIA) and results in cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions, fever, KERATITIS, and pulmonary infections.
Aza Compounds
Iodophors
Complexes of iodine and non-ionic SURFACE-ACTIVE AGENTS acting as carrier and solubilizing agent for the iodine in water. Iodophors usually enhance bactericidal activity of iodine, reduce vapor pressure and odor, minimize staining, and allow wide dilution with water. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
Eye Burns
Injury to any part of the eye by extreme heat, chemical agents, or ultraviolet radiation.
Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Infection of the cornea by an ameboid protozoan which may cause corneal ulceration leading to blindness.
Burns, Chemical
Rosacea
A cutaneous disorder primarily of convexities of the central part of the FACE, such as FOREHEAD; CHEEK; NOSE; and CHIN. It is characterized by FLUSHING; ERYTHEMA; EDEMA; RHINOPHYMA; papules; and ocular symptoms. It may occur at any age but typically after age 30. There are various subtypes of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular (National Rosacea Society's Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea, J Am Acad Dermatol 2002; 46:584-7).

Corneal Diseases
Diseases of the cornea.
Burkholderia gladioli
A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that acts as both a human and plant pathogen.
Fibrin Tissue Adhesive
An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing FIBRINOGEN and THROMBIN. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, FACTOR VIII, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agents such as APROTININ. Mixing of the two components promotes BLOOD CLOTTING and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, HEMOSTASIS, and WOUND HEALING.
Contact Lenses, Extended-Wear
Hydrophilic contact lenses worn for an extended period or permanently.
Visual Acuity
Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.

Herpetic keratitis. Proctor Lecture. (1/403)

Although much needs to be learned about the serious clinical problem of herpes infection of the cornea, we have come a long way. We now have effective topical antiviral drugs. We have animal models which, with a high degree of reliability, clearly predict the effect to be expected clinically in man, as well as the toxicity. We have systemically active drugs and the potential of getting highly active, potent, completely selective drugs, with the possibility that perhaps the source of viral reinfection can be eradicated. The biology of recurrent herpes and stromal disease is gradually being understood, and this understanding may result in new and better therapy of this devastating clinical disease.  (+info)

Infectious keratitis in leprosy. (2/403)

AIM: To describe leprosy characteristics, ocular features, and type of organisms that produce infective corneal ulcers in leprosy patients. METHOD: The records of all leprosy patients admitted for treatment of corneal ulcers between 1992 and 1997 were reviewed. RESULTS: 63 leprosy patients, 53 males and 10 females, are described. 16 were tuberculoid and 47 lepromatous. 25 patients had completed multidrug therapy. 10 patients had face patches, eight had type I reaction, and 10 had type II reaction. 43 (68%) patients had hand deformities. In 54% of patients pain was absent as a presenting symptom. 19 patients gave a history of trauma. In 15 patients ulcers had also occurred on the other eye, five of them having occurred during the study period and the rest before 1992. Of the 68 eyes with corneal ulcers, 28 had madarosis, 34 had lagophthalmos, nine had ectropion, three had trichiasis, six had blocked nasolacrimal ducts, and 39 decreased corneal sensation. In 14 eyes, a previous lagophthalmos surgery had been done. 16 patients were blind at presentation. 32% of ulcers were located centrally. After treatment only 18% of the eyes showed visual improvement. Five types of fungus were cultured, two of them rare ocular pathogens. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal ulcers occur more in males and in the lepromatous group of patients. Decreased corneal sensation, lagophthalmos and hand deformity are closely associated. Indigenous treatment and late presentations were notable in many patients. Visual outcome is not good. There is increased risk of developing an ulcer in the other eye. Fungal corneal ulcers are not uncommon.  (+info)

Incidence of corneal melting in association with systemic disease in the Yorkshire Region, 1995-7. (3/403)

AIMS: To estimate the incidence of corneal melting or necrotising keratitis in association with systemic disease in the Yorkshire Region and to determine the type and duration of the systemic association. METHODS: In a prospective study, vigorous attempts were made to identify all patients presenting with newly diagnosed corneal melting over a 3 year period. RESULTS: 27 patients were identified during the study period. Rheumatoid arthritis and Wegener's granulomatosis were the most common disease associations. Corneal melting was a late complication of rheumatoid arthritis, but usually occurred during early and overt systemic disease in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. CONCLUSION: The annual incidence of corneal melting in the Yorkshire Region is 3.01/million/year (95% CI = 0.7-9.6).  (+info)

Corneal epithelial-specific cytokeratin 3 is an autoantigen in Wegener's granulomatosis-associated peripheral ulcerative keratitis. (4/403)

PURPOSE: In a previous investigation it was demonstrated that circulating antibodies to a 66-kDa corneal epithelial antigen (BCEA-A) are associated with peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). The aim of this study was to identify BCEA-A. METHODS: The 66-kDa antigen was purified from a bovine corneal epithelial protein extract, using DE52 ion exchange chromatography. Purified protein was used to raise rabbit polyclonal antibodies. These antibodies were used to screen a bovine corneal epithelial cDNA expression library. Positive clones were purified and sequenced. Clones were identified by DNA sequence homology searches of the GenBank DNA database. RESULTS: A cDNA clone that demonstrated strong binding to both the rabbit polyclonal antibody and patient sera, showed 85% homology to rabbit cytokeratin 3 (K3). K3 is a basic cytokeratin specific to corneal epithelium. No bovine DNA sequence for K3 is available. However, bovine K3 is larger than rabbit K3, with a molecular weight of 66 kDa. Immunofluorescence using both patient sera and the rabbit antibody demonstrated a cytoplasmic binding pattern on human corneal epithelium. CONCLUSIONS: This evidence suggests that the 66-kDa autoantigen (BCEA-A) associated with PUK in WG is cytokeratin 3, and this may form the basis of a diagnostic/prognostic test.  (+info)

Fungal corneal ulcers of onion harvesters in southern Taiwan. (5/403)

Fungal corneal ulcers related to agriculture has been reported throughout the world, especially in tropical areas. Most of them were sporadic and had histories of ocular trauma or use of topical corticosteroids and topical antibiotics. Five onion harvesters had fungal corneal ulcers during the same harvest period in Southern Taiwan. The authors think that this is the first report of a group occurrence relating to agricultural workers. Although all of the patients improved after medical and surgical management, their vision was greatly decreased. It is suggested that the tropical climate, the harvest procedure, the characteristic monsoon, and lack of eye protection were involved. Therefore, the importance of the eye protection, hygiene education, and improving medical care to reduce the occurrence of fungal corneal ulcer in agriculture workers must be emphasised.  (+info)

Role of ocular matrix metalloproteinases in peripheral ulcerative keratitis. (6/403)

AIM: Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is an ocular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis and other similar systemic diseases. The purpose of this inquiry was to investigate the involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the induction and/or maintenance of PUK. METHODS: Substrate gel electrophoresis was used to characterise the MMP activities secreted by primary cultures of keratocytes derived from normal and perforated pathological corneal specimens, and those present in tears of normal subjects and patients with PUK. Substrate specificity and the in vivo activity status of the secreted MMPs was assessed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of standard collagens incubated in the presence or absence of the various enzyme preparations. RESULTS: In addition to MMP-2 of M(r) 66,000, cultured keratocytes derived from perforated corneas of patients with PUK abnormally produce the MMP-2 of apparent M(r) 62,000. Other MMPs and in particular MMP-9 of M(r) 92,000, also occur in the tears of these patients. Their visualisation on substrate polyacrylamide gels correlated with clinical manifestations of disease activity; during periods of disease quiescence they were barely detectable. The steroid prednisolone, frequently used in systemic therapy, had no effect on the in vitro activity of MMP-2, or on its production by cultured corneal keratocytes. Although the in vitro activity of MMP-2 was inhibited by both Cu(2+) and Zn(2+), Cu(2+) apparently induced the keratocytes to produce activated enzyme and Zn(2+) irreversibly inhibited their production of MMP-2. CONCLUSION: Overexpression of corneal MMP-2 and tear film MMP-9 are characteristic features of patients with PUK and their activation may be a crucial facet of disease initiation or progression. Although effective in systemic therapy for PUK, prednisolone had no direct control over corneal MMP-2 production or activity. Zn(2+) on the other hand inhibited both MMP-2 production and MMP-2 activity and may, therefore, be of therapeutic value if suitably formulated and used in conjunction with systemic steroid treatment.  (+info)

Evidence for TIMP-1 protection against P. aeruginosa-induced corneal ulceration and perforation. (7/403)

PURPOSE: To determine the biological significance of individual endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in protection against tissue destruction using a Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced model of corneal ulceration. METHODS: Corneal TIMP-1, -2, and -3 mRNA levels were compared between young adult (resistant) and aged (susceptible) mice challenged with P. aeruginosa. Resistant mice that demonstrated greater amounts of an individual TIMP were treated with polyclonal antibody (pAb) to that TIMP. To determine whether TIMP neutralization exacerbated P. aeruginosa-induced corneal disease, TIMP pAb- and normal rabbit serum (NRS)- (control) treated mice were examined macroscopically and histopathologically after infection. Corneal neutrophil (PMN) myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels also were examined in these mice. RESULTS: Greater amounts of TIMP-1 mRNA only were found in corneas of resistant versus suscep tible mice after P. aeruginosa challenge. Systemic treatment of resistant mice with TIMP-1 pAb resulted in corneal perforation by 5 to 7 days after infection (PI). Histopathologic evaluation of corneal tissues from TIMP-1 pAb- versus NRS-treated mice confirmed that TIMP-1 pAb treatment resulted in extensive stromal dissolution. This treatment also was associated with loss of epithelium within the central cornea. Both the histopathology and PMN MPO enzyme assays also showed an increase in corneal PMN number following TIMP-1 pAb treatment. CONCLUSIONS: These studies provide evidence that, after P. aeruginosa infection, adequate endogenous expression of TIMP-1 in cornea protects against extensive corneal tissue destruction. The protective effects of TIMP-1 may be multifactorial. In addition to directly protecting extracellular matrix components from active matrix metalloproteinases, TIMP-1 may either directly or indirectly influence recruitment of PMNs into infected cornea. Finally, TIMP-1 also may affect wound healing and resurfacing of the corneal epithelium.  (+info)

Peripheral ulcerative keratitis 'corneal melt' and rheumatoid arthritis: a case series. (8/403)

OBJECTIVES: (1) To review the visual and systemic outcomes of patients who developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK). (2) To describe the clinical and serological characteristics of the patients' arthropathy at the time of presentation of this rare condition. (3) To review the aetiology and management of RA-associated PUK. Patients and methods. A case series is given of all nine patients within our unit who have developed RA-associated PUK since 1996. Details of the patients' arthropathy and the serological characteristics of the RA at presentation of PUK were noted. The patients' visual outcomes and the development of any significant systemic complications were recorded. RESULTS: All patients had long-standing seropositive, erosive RA. PUK was associated with a poor visual outcome in most patients, five requiring emergency corneal surgery to prevent perforation of the globe. Two patients developed systemic vasculitis within 1 month of PUK onset, one of whom died. CONCLUSION: RA-associated PUK often has a poor visual outcome and its appearance may herald the transformation of a patient's RA into the systemic vasculitic phase. RA-associated PUK should be managed with aggressive immunosuppression if the associated morbidity and mortality are to be avoided. Cell-mediated mechanisms appear to be important in the aetiopathogenesis of PUK and a combination of corticosteroids and cyclosporin is therefore probably the regimen of choice.  (+info)

IL-10 Promotor Polymorphisms Associated With Susceptibility to and Severity of Bacterial Corneal Ulcers | IOVS | ARVO JournalsIL-10 Promotor Polymorphisms Associated With Susceptibility to and Severity of Bacterial Corneal Ulcers | IOVS | ARVO Journals
Purpose: : In animal models for bacterial corneal ulcers, high IL-10 levels were associated with a better clinical outcome. We investigated whether IL-10 promotor polymorphisms, known to influence IL-10 expression in vitro, were associated with susceptibility to and/or clinical outcome of bacterial corneal ulcers. Methods: : IL-10 promotor polymorphisms C-819T, G-1082A, A-2763C, and A-2849G were determined in 83 patients with bacterial corneal ulcers and 115 healthy controls by restriction fragment length PCR analysis. For 63 patients and all healthy controls IL-10 haplotypes could be inferred using the program SNPHAP. Results: : A significant underrepresentation of the A-2849A genotype was observed in the patient group compared to healthy controls. Both the -2763A allele and the IL-10.1 haplotype were associated with a poor clinical outcome. While the IL-10.2 haplotype was associated with a better clinical course. Conclusions: : IL-10 promotor polymorphisms that are associated with low IL-10 ...

Corneal ulcer - WikipediaCorneal ulcer - Wikipedia
Corneal ulcer, or ulcerative keratitis, is an inflammatory or more seriously, infective condition of the cornea involving disruption of its epithelial layer with involvement of the corneal stroma. It is a common condition in humans particularly in the tropics and the agrarian societies. In developing countries, children afflicted by Vitamin A deficiency are at high risk for corneal ulcer and may become blind in both eyes, which may persist lifelong. In ophthalmology, a corneal ulcer usually refers to having an infectious cause while the term corneal abrasion refers more to physical abrasions. Corneal ulcers are extremely painful due to nerve exposure, and can cause tearing, squinting, and vision loss of the eye. There may also be signs of anterior uveitis, such as miosis (small pupil), aqueous flare (protein in the aqueous humour), and redness of the eye. An axon reflex may be responsible for uveitis formation-stimulation of pain receptors in the cornea results in release inflammatory mediators ...

A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea-the clear, round window of tissue that allows light to enter the front of the eye. The surface of the cornea serves as a barrier to infections. When the surface of the cornea is damaged or compromised due to an injury, organisms may infect the cornea causing a corneal ulcer to form. A corneal ulcer is a serious condition that must be treated promptly to avoid lasting vision problems.. There are many causes of corneal ulcers. Contact lens wearers (especially soft contact lenses) have an increased risk of ulcers if they do not adhere to strict regimens for the cleaning, handling, and disinfection of their lenses and cases. Patients with severely dry eyes, difficulty blinking, and conditions that cause loss of sensation of the corneal surface are also at risk.. Other causes of ulcers include: herpes simplex viral infections, corneal abrasions and injuries.. Symptoms: ...

Corneal ulcers in dogs and cats are known to be very painful. We veterinarians can tell by the way pets squint when they have them. Some dogs eyelids can be nearly impossible to open because of the pain.. In addition, we know from people that corneal ulcers are reported to be the second-most-painful physical abnormality people can experience. Kidney stones in ureters are known to be more painful.. A corneal ulcer is any defect causing a disruption of the outermost layer of the cornea. The cornea is the clear part of the eye we see through. Its structure is layered, like an onion.. Corneal ulcers may sometimes be seen with the naked eye or a small amount of magnification. If we are in doubt about the presence of an ulcer, we apply a fluorescein stain to the cornea for confirmation. If the outermost layer of the cornea is intact all of the fluorescein stain will rinse away. If there is a defect in the outer protective layer, stain will remain in the damaged area. If the ulcer is large we can ...

Corneal ulcer - WikipediaCorneal ulcer - Wikipedia
Proper diagnosis is essential for optimal treatment. Bacterial corneal ulcer require intensive fortified antibiotic therapy to treat the infection. Fungal corneal ulcers require intensive application of topical anti-fungal agents. Viral corneal ulceration caused by herpes virus may respond to antivirals like topical acyclovir ointment instilled at least five times a day. Alongside, supportive therapy like pain medications are given, including topical cycloplegics like atropine or homatropine to dilate the pupil and thereby stop spasms of the ciliary muscle. Superficial ulcers may heal in less than a week. Deep ulcers and descemetoceles may require conjunctival grafts or conjunctival flaps, soft contact lenses, or corneal transplant. Proper nutrition, including protein intake and Vitamin C are usually advised. In cases of Keratomalacia, where the corneal ulceration is due to a deficiency of Vitamin A, supplementation of the Vitamin A by oral or intramuscular route is given. Drugs that are usually ...

UCSF Study Finds Steroids Could Help Heal Some Corneal Ulcers | UC San FranciscoUCSF Study Finds Steroids Could Help Heal Some Corneal Ulcers | UC San Francisco
A UCSF study gives hope to those suffering from severe cases of bacterial corneal ulcers, which can lead to blindness if left untreated. The use of topical corticosteroids in a randomized controlled trial was found to be neither beneficial nor harmful in the overall patient population in the study. However, it helped patients who had more serious forms of bacterial corneal ulcers, according to UCSF researchers.

Conditions of the Eye - Helms Family OpticalConditions of the Eye - Helms Family Optical
A corneal ulcer will often appear as a gray to white area on the normally transparent cornea. Some corneal ulcers may be too small to see without adequate magnification and illumination. See the first reference for pictures of a corneal ulcer. Most corneal ulcers are caused by infections. Bacterial infections cause corneal ulcers and are common in people who wear contact lenses. Bacteria can directly invade the cornea if the corneal surface has been disrupted. Some bacteria produce toxins that can cause ulceration of the cornea. Viral infections are also possible causes of corneal ulcers. Viruses that may cause corneal ulcers include the herpes simplex virus (the virus that causes cold sores) and the Varicella virus (the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles). Fungal infections can cause corneal ulcers and may occur with improper care of contact lenses or overuse of eyedrops that contain steroids.. Dry Eye Syndrome: is a very common condition that is characterized by a disturbance of the ...

Corneal UlcersCorneal Ulcers
Corneal ulcers are a serious vision-threatening condition and require prompt medical attention. If left unattended, corneal ulcers may penetrate the cornea allowing infection to enter the eyeball, which can cause permanent loss of vision and possible loss of the eye. Your eye doctor can identify corneal ulcers by examining your eyes with magnifying instruments and performing a culture study to identify the source of infection. Your doctor will check your eye, including under your eyelid, to make sure there are no foreign materials present. Depending on the initial exam, fluorescein dye may be used to identify the corneal defects. A test called the Seidel test (painting the wound with dye and observing for leakage) may be performed to uncover possible deeper injuries. ...

Corneal Ulcers in CatsCorneal Ulcers in Cats
The cornea - the transparent part of the eye - forms a cover over the iris and pupil. It also admits light to the inside of the eye, making vision possible. A corneal ulcer occurs when deeper layers of the cornea are lost; these ulcers are classified as either superficial or deep. If your cat is squinting or its eyes are tearing excessively, there is a possibility of a corneal ulcer (or ulcerative keratitis).. ...

The current study applied to the general population with bacterial keratitis that presents with a relative broad spectrum of severity as seen in a large ophthalmic centre, including primary, secondary, and tertiary patient care. However, caution is necessary in the interpretation of this study. We did not see those cases of bacterial keratitis that respond promptly to treatment and therefore have no need for referral. We should also acknowledge that the epidemiology of bacterial keratitis reported in this study is specific to the city and the area of Paris, France.. The age profile in our patients is comparable with previous reports.6,14,15 Bimodality in the patients age distribution can be attributed to CL related keratitis, corneal traumas in the younger group, and predisposing ocular surface diseases, eyelid diseases in the older group. Bacterial keratitis is rare in the absence of a predisposing factor.. Our series showed that more than 50% of the bacterial keratitis were CL related ...

Levofloxacin drop treats corneal ulcers | Ophthalmology TimesLevofloxacin drop treats corneal ulcers | Ophthalmology Times
Levofloxacin ophthalmic solution is designed to eradicate targeted pathogens by inhibiting both topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase, a dual mechanism of action similar to newer fluoroquinolones. Resistance to levofloxacin due to spontaneous mutation in vitro is a rare occurrence, according to the company. Also, when Skelnik and colleagues tested it in human cell cultures, the solution demonstrated less cytotoxicity than other marketed fluoroquinolones. Compared [with] existing ophthalmic fluoroquinolones, [levofloxacin] offers a higher sustained concentration option, said Penny A. Asbell, MD, professor of ophthalmology and director of cornea services, external disease, and refractive surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York. This, paired with its dual mechanism of action, provides a new and important option for doctors corneal ulcer treatment. The drop is contraindicated in patients with histories of hypersensitivity to levafloxacin, to other quinolones, or to any of the components ...

Established and emerging ancillary techniques in management of microbial keratitis: a review. - Semantic ScholarEstablished and emerging ancillary techniques in management of microbial keratitis: a review. - Semantic Scholar
Microbial keratitis is a sight-threatening condition and an ocular emergency, because of the potential for rapid progression. Intensive topical antimicrobials are the mainstay and the gold standard of treatment for microbial keratitis. However, despite appropriate diagnosis and therapy, treatment failure is still common, and can result in significant morbidity due to corneal perforation and/or scarring. For this reason, clinicians continue to seek novel treatment techniques in order to expand the armamentarium of tools available to manage microbial keratitis, and in doing so improve clinical outcomes. In this review, we examine the evidence for some established, as well as a few emerging ancillary techniques used to manage microbial keratitis. These include topical corticosteroids, corneal collagen cross-linking, intrastromal antimicrobials, amniotic membrane transplantation and miscellaneous other techniques. Of these, collagen cross-linking shows some promise for selected cases of infectious keratitis

Case Findings: A 22 year old male presents for follow up of a corneal ulcer on the left eye. The patient originally came to your office 5 days ago after a fall in the woods while hiking. He says he tripped over a rock and fell face-first on the ground, scratching his left eye. He immediately had pain and photophobia in the eye, and presented to you hours later. His visual acuity was 20/30 in the left eye, and a small corneal ulcer was discovered. A corneal scraping was taken at the time and sent for culture and sensitivity, and the patient was sent home with antibiotics for the eye. Over the past 5 days, you have been following the patient each day and have noted that the ulcer is slowly growing in size and depth of penetration. Today, the eye is still erythematous with a persistent anterior chamber reaction. A slight hypopyon not documented at previous visits is also noted. The results of the culture and sensitivity came back today and were negative for bacterial growth. The picture here was ...

Mycoplasma, Corneal Ulcers, and CatsMycoplasma, Corneal Ulcers, and Cats
MYCOPLASMA. Mycoplasma are single cell organisms similar to bacteria, and are the smallest free-living, self-replicating organisms known. Unlike bacteria that have a rigid cell wall, Mycoplasma have thin, flexible membranes, which contain its cytoplasma. This lack of a cell wall allows Mycoplasma to resist many of the antibiotics that are useful against most bacteria. Mycoplasma are difficult to detect in human and animal specimens and difficult to culture in the laboratory ...

Then again, because of his diabetes, he might not respond as well as he should. In which case hell need surgery.. Fiddle dee dee, Im not going to think about that now…. The vet also said the ulcer was square rather than round, and that this was weird. I guess its better than when she called Frankie weird because he wouldnt pee for the vet techs. Still, its a bit disturbing to be told your dog - or his corneal ulcer - is peculiar. On top, of course, of being told that your dog has a corneal ulcer in the first place.. When I came home from the vet, Chris the repair guy was there. Chris was going to fix the hole in the wall above the sink that the plumbers made and left gaping. I had told Chris when I phoned him that I needed the hole drywalled because the plumbers who had left the hole said, Sorry, we dont do drywall.. It turns out that the hole needed to be plastered, which Chris doesnt know how to do. If only the plumbers had said, Sorry, we dont do plastering, Chris could have ...

Stevens Johnson Syndrome - NYEEStevens Johnson Syndrome - NYEE
What is Stevens-Johnson syndrome?. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes. It usually involves an idiosyncratic reaction to a medication or an infection. Often, it begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful red or purplish rash that spreads and blisters. The top layer of the affected skin then dies, sheds and heals. All ages may be affected, and both sexes are equally susceptible. Stevens-Johnson syndrome has a 5%-15% mortality rate. Ocular involvement, which occurs in as many as half of patients, varies from mild conjunctivitis to severe perforating corneal ulcers. Blindness occasionally occurs in patients with severe late-phase corneal complications, such as chronic corneal ulceration, vascularization, and perforation.. How is the condition treated?. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a medical emergency that usually requires hospitalization. The first and most important step in treatment is to discontinue any medications that may be causing ...

Úlcera de córnea bilateral por Pseudomonas em usuário de lente de contato descartável
Introduction: Although the use of contact lenses is appa-rently very simple, it is necessary to obey criteria for their correct use, conservation and disposal. Corneal bacterial ulcers are a much-feared complication for users of contact lenses and can be related to various factors such as hygiene, storage and most of all long-term use. Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral ulcer, caused by Pseudomonas in a patient who was a user of disposable lenses. This study highlights and discusses the importance of prior examination, instruction and adequate supervision. In addition it is emphasized that although the lenses are disposable, they are not free from the possibility of serious complications. Case Study: A seventeen-year-old student who had used contact lenses for six months without prior examination or medical prescription complained of pain in the left eye. When he was examined, we observed a corneal ulcer infiltrated in the median periphery. Samples were collected and a treatment with ...

A New Twist to Treating Fungal Cornea Infection - Science and Technology Research NewsA New Twist to Treating Fungal Cornea Infection - Science and Technology Research News
A*STAR researchers have created synthetic molecules to treat fungal keratitis - an infection of the cornea that causes visual disability1. The new molecules are a first step toward developing effective drugs to combat this widespread disease.. According to the World Health Organization, corneal ulcers resulting from keratitis cause 1.5-2 million people to lose vision in one eye each year, with fungal infections accounting for nearly half of keratitis cases caused by microbes. There are no safe and effective antifungal agents for clinical treatment of fungal keratitis, says Jackie Ying, the executive director of the A*STAR Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), Singapore.. Ying and IBN group leader Yi Yan Yang led a team of researchers who developed a series of short, synthetic protein fragments designed to mimic antimicrobial peptides produced by the immune system. The synthetic peptides were broadly effective against bacteria and Candida albicans, one of the pathogens that can ...

Cosmetics - Safe Use | Chicago MedicineCosmetics - Safe Use | Chicago Medicine
The most serious problem related to eye make-up involves injury to the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye), often during application of the cosmetic. A mascara or eyeliner wand or a fingernail can scratch the cornea (corneal abrasion). Occasionally a corneal abrasion can become infected leading to a potentially blinding corneal ulcer. Corneal injuries are usually painful and always require prompt medical attention.. All eye cosmetics contain preservatives that retard the growth of bacteria in the makeup. However, if certain precautions are not taken, bacteria from the skin can still grow in the cosmetic after use. (See safety tips below.) Some women develop frequent conjunctivitis (infection of the outer part of the eyeball) due to contamination of their eye cosmetic or makeup applicator.. Although preservatives partly protect against infection, they can irritate the eye and skin in some sensitive persons. Additionally, some people may be allergic to fragrances or other ingredients in ...

I have no pain, just some more dried mucus than usual. Occasionally one or the other eye is a little pink, but it doesnt last very long. Every morning I wash my hands and carefully clean my eyes, wear glasses until my eyes look OK, then put in the contacts and wear them for my usual 12-16 hours. Ive had eye infections a couple of times before, but these left my affected eye crusty and red all the time until it healed. My working hypotheseis is that these new, thicker contacts are letting less oxygen in, leading to increased mucus production at night. That way lies scary stuff like keratitis and corneal ulcers, I know ...
