Abstract:AIM:To investigate the main clinical features, pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity of lacrimal angiitis, and to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 45 patients(45 eyes)diagnosed with lacrimal angiitis in Hebei Eye Hospital from December 2016 to October 2020 were selected to analyze the general information, clinical manifestations and previous treatment history, bacterial culture results, and drug sensitivity test results.RESULTS:All 45 patients had monocular disease, including 21 eyes with tears, increased secretion, conjunctival congestion in inner canthus, 14 eyes with red and swollen inner canthus, 6 eyes similar to eyelid cyst, and 4 eyes were found and diagnosed during routine preoperative examination. 27 eyes were previously diagnosed with other eye diseases, and the misdiagnosis rate was 60.0%. The positive rate of bacterial culture was 80.0%(36/45), Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common, followed by Streptococcus; 52.8%(19/36)of the patients were infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria. The sensitivity rate of bacteria to fluoroquinolones(82.9%, 97/117)was higher than that of aminoglycosides(70.1%, 68/97)and cephalosporins(68.1%, 111/163). Except vancomycin, rifampicin, levofloxacin and chloramphenicol were highly sensitive to Gram-positive bacteria.CONCLUSION: Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common pathogen of dacryocystitis, followed by Streptococcus. Levofloxacin and rifampicin can be the first choice antibiotics for local anti-infection. Rational drug use can reduce the formation of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The cure rate can be improved by complete removal of stones by incision and plasty of lacrimal canaliculus.
