CLINICAL STUDY OF CAUSATIVE MICROBIAL AGENTS OF SUPPURATIVE KERATITIS CASES IN RURAL AREA

Author(s):Suryawanshi Gaurav S, Khindria Ashish

The epidemiological pattern and causative agents for suppurative corneal ulcer vary significantly from region to region so it is important to determine the regional etiology for diagnosis and management. A prospective study was conducted to find out the specific microbial agents responsible for suppurative keratitis. 62 patients of keratitis were included in the study. Male patients (58.06%) above 40 years (69.35%), farmers (61.29%) by occupation were commonly involved. The commonest ulcer was fungal (35.48%) &the causative microorganism found on culture was Aspergillus (48.48%). In bacterial ulcer, Staphylococcus aureus (38.70%) &Pseudomonas (19.35%) were isolated as the responsible microbial agents.
