Insights
Pediatric blepharitis often leads to keratopathy, with low cure rates. Effective treatment requires medication, lifestyle changes, and patient adherence for better outcomes in children.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Ophthalmology
- Ocular Surface Disease
Background:
- Blepharitis is a common ocular surface disease.
- Misdiagnosis can occur when the eyelid is overlooked by clinicians.
- Pediatric blepharitis presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
Objective:
To study the clinical features and treatment of children blepharitis.
Methods:
Retrospective case series.
Participants:
30 children patients less than 15 years old with blepharitis.
Results:
The clinical features , past diagnosis, treatment and therapeutic effect of 30 cases of children blepharitis recorded between Janurary 2010 to June 2013 were analyzed.
Results:
Of all the patients, 9 were male, and 21 were female. 15 cases (50%) were diagnosed as keratitis, among which 13 cases (43.3%) were diagnosed as virus keratitis. The main complications were keratopathy, accounting for 80%. Of all the 30 children blepharitis cases, 5 (16.7%) cases were cured; 21 (70%) cases got better; 2 cases (6.7%) recurred. Of 24 keratopaty associated with blepharitis cases, 17 cases (70.8%) were cured; 5 (20.8%) cases got better; 2 (8.3%) cases recurred.
Conclusions:
Blepharitis is the common ocular surface disease, clinicians often ignore the eyelid to misdiagnosis.Children blepharitis usually affects cornea and results in keratopathy associated with blepharitis. Cure rate of Chlidren blepharitis is low. It becauses cure not only needs drug therapy but also demands patients adjust their habits and high obedience with doctors.
