Abstract

Introduction & Objective: CORNEAL ULCER is one of the most important medical emergencies thatin the absence of on time diagnosis and treatment can lead to loss of vision. Therefore, identificationof microorganisms and their response to drugs in each region is important. The aim ofthis study was to determine the most common organisms that cause keratitis and antibioticsensitivity in this region.Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the effect of various factors such as age, sex, demographic properties, RISK FACTORS, culture results and antibiotic sensitivity of patients withcorneal ulcer were studied in Farshchian Hospital.Results: In this study, 80 patients with CORNEAL ULCERs were investigated.46 cases with cornealulcers had positive results (55.7%). 54% of culture-positives were men and 46% were female.Age distribution of outbreaks in two age ranges including under ten years and 50 to 69 yearsof age were more than others. Among the patients, trauma was the most important risk factorfor CORNEAL ULCER. Of the 80 evaluated CORNEAL ULCERs 57.5% of patients had positive cornealculture and 42.5% showed negative culture results. 84.4% out of 57.5% culture-positive sampleshad positive bacterial culture, and 15.6% had positive fungal cultures. The most commonmicroorganism causing CORNEAL ULCERs was staph aureus with 36.8 percent among which Staphepidermidis (21.7%) is the most prevalent. The CORNEAL ULCER causing microorganisms respondedwell to Ciprofloxacin therapy.Conclusions: The result of this study shows that culture and antibiogram of CORNEAL ULCERs areessential to determine the cause of ulcer and antibiotic susceptibility. Before obtaining cultureresults and antibiotic sensitivity, the most appropriate antibiotic must be selected as the empiricaltherapy based on the epidemiological conditions and the most common microorganism.
