Abstract

Objective: Toevaluate the effect of topical efficacy of TOPICAL OPHTHALMIC PROPHYLAXIS in prevention of OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM. Material and Methods: In this random clinical control trial, ophtalmia neonatorum was investigated in one university center and the prophylactic effect of normal saline and ophthalmic erythromycin was compared with a group not receiving any prophylaxis. During July to December 2001, 1002 newborns were participated in the study. Ophthalmic prophylaxis started immediately after birth. The first group received ophthalmic erythromycin ointment (%0.5), in the second group neonates were distilled one drop of normal saline into each eye and the third group did not receive any prophylaxis. Results: Within the first 10 days of life, conjunctivitis developed in 138 newborns (%13.8). About %29.7 of conjunctivitis cases were in erythromycin group, %31.9 in normal saline group and %38.4 were observed in no prophylaxis group. In general no significant difference was observed among 3 groups (p>0.05). There was no case of gonococcal conjunctivitis (which in many cases results in blindness) in this study. Conclusions: It seems prophylaxis is not required.
