Corneal infection

Distichiasis, an ocular disorder in which aberrant cilia (eyelashes) grow from the opening of the Meibomian glands of the eyelid, has been reported in Friesian horses. These misplaced cilia can cause discomfort, chronic keratitis, and corneal ulceration, potentially impacting vision due to corneal fibrosis, or, if secondary infection occurs, may lead to loss of the eye.

The aim of this study is to isolate and identify the various organisms from cases of infective keratitis obtained from the department of ophthalmology in our college. Ninety six numbers of cases were included in this study, in the duration period of 18 months i.e. from January 2015 to June 2016. The corneal scrapings were processed by bacterial and fungal culture methods and microscopic examination by Gram’s stain and KOH mount. Bacterial isolates were identified by standard biochemical methods. Our study showed higher prevalence of fungal keratitis i.e. 37 (56.

Microbial keratitis is a sight threatening infection of the cornea and is a major cause of blindness in India. Though several risk factors such as corneal trauma, blepharitis, herpetic keratitis, xerophthalmia, keratopathies, and eyelid abnormalities, are cited, its incidence has been increased in the past few years, and the wear of contact lens emerging as one of the major risk factors.

In the present study 88 number of corneal swabs were collected from 8 different breeds of dog suffering from corneal diseases. All the dogs were presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of Odisha Veterinary College for treatment during the period from December 2018 to June 2019. The breeds consists of Non-descript (n=18), Pug (n=11), Labrador (n=10), German shepherd (n=12), Spitz (n=14), Golden retriever (n=10), Dalmatian (n=7), and Mastiff (n=6).

Corneal blindness is responsible for 1.5 to 2 million new cases of monocular blindness every year in which ocular trauma and corneal ulceration are significant contributors. Corneal infections of fungal etiology are common in India (19-45%). Aspergillus (16– 53%) and Fusarium (10–45%) species are the common pathogens. Purpose: 1.To Identify and isolate the various fungi causing fungal keratitis. 2. To know the usefulness of Gram stain, KOH wet mount and fungal culture in identification of fungi. Materials and Methods: After taking written and informed consent taken.

The eye may be infected from external sources or through intraocular invasion of microorganisms carried by the blood stream. The common eye infections caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens are blepharitis, conjunctivitis, internal and external hordeolum, keratitis, dacryocystitis. Timely institution of appropriate therapy must be initiated to control the infections and thereby minimize the ocular morbidity.

Keratomycosis is an invasive fungal infection of the cornea which usually occurs following corneal trauma by vegetative material. It is usually caused by hyaline fungus such as Aspergillus, Fusarium and Acremonium, but rare case reports with phaeoid fungus have been reported. We report here a case of keratomycosis caused by Exserohilum rostratum. E. rostratum is a dematiaceous fungus that has been known to cause sinusitis and subcutaneous infections but it has rarely been reported to be a cause of keratomycosis.

The transcription factor p63 plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of epithelial tissues, including the ocular surface. In an effort to gain insight into the pathogenesis of keratitis caused by HSV-1, we determined the expression patterns of the p63 and Bax proteins in the Staatens Seruminstitute Rabbit Cornea cell line (SIRC). Methods: SIRC cells were infected with HSV-1 at various multiplicities and maintained for different periods of time. Virus replication was measured by indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis.

Ocular Gonorrhea in Adults Ocular gonorrhea in an adult usually results from autoinoculation from an infected genital site. As in genital infection, the manifestations range from severe to occasionally mild or asymptomatic disease. The variability in clinical manifestations may be attributable to differences in the ability of the infecting strain to elicit an inflammatory response. Infection may result in a markedly swollen eyelid, severe hyperemia and chemosis, and a profuse purulent discharge. The massively inflamed conjunctiva may be draped over the cornea and limbus.
