Microbiological study of dacryocystitis in northwest of Iran

Abstract

The present study is useful for determining the appropriate antibiotic for systemic treatment of dacryocystitis in our region. Ciprofloxacin and vancomycin are the most sensitive antibiotics against the most common isolated microorganisms in both age groups (under and above 10 years) that can be used for empirical therapy of dacryocystitis in both acute and chronic type.
