    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Microbiology

    Background:

    • Actinomycotic infection is a rare but important cause of chronic conjunctivitis and canaliculitis.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications such as lacrimal obstruction.

    Observation:

    • This study presents four cases of actinomycotic canaliculitis.
    • Clinical features included persistent purulent discharge and chronic inflammation of the eyelid margin.
    • Macrodacryocystography was utilized as an investigative tool.

    Findings:

    • Microbiological diagnosis of actinomycosis can be challenging.
    • All presented cases exhibited associated lacrimal obstruction.
    • Treatment strategies were explored and discussed.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for actinomycotic canaliculitis in persistent cases.
    • Improved diagnostic methods are needed for timely identification.
    • Addressing lacrimal obstruction is essential for successful management and visual recovery.
