Endophthalmitis. Importance of microbiologic studies for therapy and prognosis
(University of Nairobi, 1993-12)
The fast and precise identification of infectious agents and their characterization is of upmost importance for the diagnosis and therapy of infectious endophthalmitis. A preliminary estimate of the most probable predominant ...
[Eye involvement in Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). 1996/1997 studies in Paraguay]
(1998)
Last year's pilot study, which examined for the first time a representative group of patients with Chagas disease, showed that in this parasitosis changes in the ocular fundus can be expected in the form of defects of the ...
Coagulase-negative staphylococci in normal and chronically inflamed conjunctiva
(University of Nairobi, 1995-12)
This study examines the prevalence of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species in normal and mildly inflamed conjunctiva, their sensitivity to antibiotics, and their relationship to the remaining flora.
PATIENTS AND ...
[Preoperative infection prophylaxis with 1% polyvidon-iodine solution based on the example of conjunctival staphylococci].
(1999)
BACKGROUND:
Most germs causing postoperative endophthalmitis derive from the conjunctival bacterial normal flora. Postoperative endophthalmitis is often induced by staphylococcal germs. The application of polyvidone-iodine ...
Strategy for examination and therapy of mycotic keratitis
(University of Nairobi, 1993-03)
BACKGROUND:
Keratomycosis still represents a major problem in ophthalmology because of diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. This is caused by difficult clinical differentiation and problems in microbiological analysis ...
Post-traumatic endophthalmitis after penetrating eye injuries. Risk factors, microbiological diagnosis and functional outcome.
(1998)
BACKGROUND:
Endophthalmitis associated with penetrating injury represents a distinct kind of intraocular infection. The preceding trauma, infective agents and inflammatory changes determine the functional outcome.
MATERIALS ...
Ophthalmia neonatorum caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Rapid diagnosis and therapy
(University of Nairobi, 1997-05)
BACKGROUND:
In up to 73% of ophthalmia neonatorum, Chlamydia trachomatis is the causative agents. Untreated sequelae to the eyes and organs may be the result. The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial spectrum ...
Secondary glaucoma in Paraguay. Etiology and incidence
(1999)
Glaucoma is the third-most-frequent cause of blindness in the world, with a total of 5.2 million blind people as a result of this disease; 80% live in developing countries. In Paraguay, after cataract it is the ...
Bacterial keratitis. Microbiological analysis as a principle for therapeutic recommendations.
(1999)
PURPOSE:
The study presented differentiates between the aetiological agents of bacterial keratitis in patients with and without a history of contact lens wear. Based on these results, recommendations are given for ...
