Introduction• Bacterial keratitis usually develops when ocular defens have been compromised.
•Host cellular and immunologic responses to offending agent which may be bacterial, viral, fungal or protozoal organisms leads to formation of ulcer.
•Sight threatening condition and should be considered as ocular emergency.

Barriers Of Microbial Infection
• Bony orbital rim,eyelids,• Intact corneal & conjunctival epithelium
Anatomical
• Tear film-mucus layer• Lacrimal system
Mechanical
• Tear film constitutes-IgA, complement components, and enzymes lysozyme, lactoferrin, betalysins
• CALT
Antimicrobial

Systemic Factors
1.Malnutrition2.Diabetes3.Immunosupression-Systemic steroids, AIDS4.Chronic alcoholism
![Page 6: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aetiology • Caused by organisms which produce toxins causing tissue death i.e.
necrosis characterized by pus formation. • Such purulent keratitis is usually exogenous due to infection by
pyogenic bacteria such as -Pseudomonas, -Staphylococcus, -Streptococcus, -N. gonorrhoeae and -C. diphtheriae
![Page 7: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Aetiology
• Most of the bacteria are capable of producing corneal ulcer only when the epithelium is damaged.
• N. gonorrhoeae, C. diphtheriae, Haemophilus , N. meningitidis
can penetrate intact corneal epithelium.

Pathogenesis Corneal abrasion Microbes adhere to epithelium, cloning ,invasion to stromal
lamellae,release toxins & lytic enzymes Host response PMNs at the site of ulcer from tears & limbal vessels release of cytokines &
interleukins progressive invasion of cornea & increase in size of ulcer
Phagocytosis
Release of free radicals, proteolytic enymes Necrosis & sloughing of epithelium, Bowman’s membrane & stroma
A saucer shaped defect with projecting walls above the normal surface due to swelling of tissue resulting from fluid imbibition by corneal stroma with grey zone of infiltration

Special Features1.Staphylococcal • Central,oval, opaque• Distinct margins.• Mild oedema of remaining
cornea.• Stromal abscess in
longstanding cases.• Mild to moderate AC reaction.• Affects compromised corneas
e.g. Bullous keratopathy , dry eyes , atopic diseases.
![Page 15: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2.Pneumococcal• Ulcer serpens is greyish white
or yellowish disc shaped ulcer occuring near center of cornea.
• starts at periphery & spreads towards centre
• Tendency to creep over the cornea in serpiginous fashion- Ulcus Serpen.
• Violent iridocyclitis is often associated with it.
• Hypopyon – always present• It has great tendency for
PERFORATION.
![Page 16: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3. Pseudomonas
• Rapidly spreading.• Extends periphery & deep
within 24 hrs.• Stromal necrosis with shaggy
surface• Spreads concentrically and
symmetrically to involve whole depth of cornea-Ring ulcer.
• Greenish-yellow discharge.• Hypopyon is present.• Untreated corneal melting.

4. Streptococcus viridans
• Infectious crystalline keratopathytype of stromal keratitis.
• Crystalline arborifoem (needle like) white opacities in stroma , not associated with infiltration & ocular inflammation
• Due to proliferation of bacteria between the stromal lamellae.

Complications Of Corneal Ulcer 1. Spread of ulcer horizontally and depth-wise, leading to thinning
of cornea2. Descemetocele 3. Perforation of ulcer – sudden exertion such as coughing, sneezing, straining at stool or
firm closure of eyes increase in intra-ocular pressure (IOP) perforation
a) Peripheral perforation -iris prolapse through opening. Exudation takes place on prolapsed tissue an adherent leucoma .
![Page 19: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
b) Central perforation anterior chamber collapse lens comes in contact with corneal endothelial surface anterior capsular cataract repeated healing and perforation leading to corneal fistula formation
c) Sloughing of whole cornea: prolapse of iris pupillary block and exudation on iris pseudocornea anterior synechiae angle of anterior chamber is occluded leading to secondary glaucoma anterior staphyloma .
d) Intra-ocular purulent infection: due to perforation bacteria enter in the eye and causes endophthalmitis / panophthalmitis

![Page 30: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Adjuvant Therapy1.Cycloplegic : Atropine 1% or cyclopentolate 1% or
Homatropine 2%- prevents ciliary spasm, relieves pain, breaks adhesions and prevent synechia formation.
2.Analgesic anti-inflammatory3. Oral vitamin C4. Acetazolamide Tab - impending perforation or perforated
corneal ulcer and in cases where there is raised IOP
![Page 31: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Treatment Of Impending Perforation1. Straining should be avoided.2. Pressure bandage3. Lowering of IOP4. Tissue adhesive glue (cynoacrylate)5. Conjunctival flap 6. Soft contact lens Bandage 7. Penetrating keratoplasty
![Page 32: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Treatment Of Perforated Corneal Ulcer
• Tissue adhesives• Conjunctival flap• Soft bandage• Keratoplasty
![Page 33: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Modification of initial antimicrobial therapy:-Should be based on clinical response not on culture sensitivity
• If pt is responding no change in initial treatment• If pt is not responding/ worsening drugs are changed
according to antimicrobial sensitivity
![Page 34: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• SIGNS OF HEALING : -resolution of lid edema, congestion -decreased density of stromal infiltrate -reduction of corneal oedema -reduction in AC reaction/hypopyon -re-epithelization -corneal vascularization
• Antibiotic frequency-tapered to 4hrly after 72 hrs
![Page 35: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• SIGNS OF NON-RESPONSE- Increase in infiltration, epithelial defect, height of hypopyon,
Corneal thinning, perforation
Treatment• Re-evaluate for
Drug toxicity,Non-infectious causes or Unusual organisms • Modification of anti-microbial therapy according to
antimicrobial sensitivity• Scraping of ulcer floor followed by cauterization with pure
(100%) carbolic acid or 10-20% trichloracetic acid.• Therapeutic keratoplasty
![Page 36: Ferdous bacterial keratitis copy](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021502/586e13241a28ab8a588b5caf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Topical Corticosteroids
• Controversial in bacterial keratitis• The rationale for using steroids - to decrease tissue destruction.
CRITERIA FOR TOPICAL STEROIDS IN ULCER --
1.Must not be used in presence of active infected corneal ulcer2.If bacteria shows in-vitro sensitivity to the antibiotic being used3.Patients compliance for follow-up4. No other virulent organism is found
