Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the mode of presentation of dacrocystitis along with bacteriological profile of study subjects with dacryocystitis. Methods: An Open Level Randomized Clinical Trial study was conducted from july 2015 to Jan 2017 with 100 diagnosed cases of chronic dacryocystitis were enrolled for the study. All patients were examined and samples were taken from lacrimal regurgitates. Samples were examined for Gram stain and culture and sensitivity. Results: A sum total of 100 patients were included in the study among them most of them were females (52%) compared to males (48%). Among all the examined samples 20 % showed growth, rest 80 % samples did not show any growth. Among all positive growth, Staphylococcus aureus encountered as the commonest isolate (60%) followed by Staphylococcus epidermis (25%). All the gram positive organisms found to be sensitive towards vancomycin and fluroquinolones. Conclusion: Both Gram positive and Gram negative organism are associated with with chronic dacryocystitis. Knowledge of the bacteriology of dacryocystitis and the susceptibility of the bacteria towards antibiotics will better guide a clinician in the choice of the medication for the most appropriate drug for the treatment.
