This study investigated the bacteriological profile of chronic dacryocystitis in Kolkata. Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the primary pathogen in most cases, highlighting its role in this eye condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Chronic dacryocystitis is an infection of the lacrimal sac.
  • Understanding the bacteriological profile is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the bacteriological profile of chronic dacryocystitis.
  • To identify common pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of 172 patients with chronic dacryocystitis.
  • Culture and sensitivity testing of material from the lacrimal sac.
  • Analysis of presenting symptoms including epiphora, mass, and cellulitis.

Main Results:

  • Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen (82.5% pure culture).

  • Mixed cultures were found in 10.5% of cases.
  • Candida albicans was identified in 2.3% of cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Staphylococcus aureus is a primary pathogen in chronic dacryocystitis.
    • Bacteriological analysis is essential for targeted antibiotic therapy.
