Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate anterior chamber (AC) contamination after extracapsular CATARACT EXTRACTION with intraocular lens implantation (ECCE+IOL) and its relationship with counjunctival flora in Rasool Akram Hospital, Tehran, Iran.Patients and Methods: This is a prospective clinical trial in 81 patients with no previous ocular or systemic infection that underwent non-complicated ECCE + IOL. Bacterial specimens were obtained from the conjunctiva before (I) and after (II) prep & drep, at the conclusion of surgery (III), and AC fluid at the end of surgery (IV). Specimens were cultured on blood agar and thioglycolate media & underwent microbiologic studies. Collected data were classified & underwent statistical analysis.Results: 81 patients (39 Men & 42 Women) with the mean age of 60.75 years showed 43.2% positive culture, which was staphylococcus epidermis (SE) in 83% in stage I. Post prep & drep cultures was positive in 23.5% (100% SE) and last conjunctival smear (III) was positive in 18.5%. AC fluid was positive in 25.9% of cases. None of the eyes developed endophthalmitis during 6 months follow up. There was a statistically significant difference between pre (I) and post (II) prep & drep cultures (P=0.006); but not among stage II and III or IV (P=0.24).Conclusion: Despite attempts for a sterile operating field, AC culture at the end of ECCE + IOL was positive in 25.9% of the cases.
