To describe the microbiologic aspects of infectious keratitis in children (0-18 years old) examined at the Department of Ophthalmology of the National University of Asunción-Paraguay, during a 14-year period (1988-2002).
The authors retrospectively studied 146 children, under 18 years old, with infectious keratitis at the Department of Ophthalmology of the National University of Asunción-Paraguay, from 1988 to 2002.
The cultures were positive in 113 patients (77%) with 70% of bacterial and 30% of fungal etiology. Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (23.1%), Staphylococcus aureus (19.2%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.8%) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (12.8%) were the most common microorganisms isolated. Acremonium ssp (25%), Fusarium ssp (14%) and Aspergillus fumigatus (14%) were the fungi isolated.
Ulcerative keratitis in children examined at the Department of Ophthalmology of the National University of Asunción-Paraguay is of bacterial origin in most of the cases.
描述在14年期间（1988 - 2002年），巴拉圭亚松森国立大学眼科所检查的0至18岁儿童感染性角膜炎的微生物学特征。
作者回顾性研究了1988年至2002年期间在巴拉圭亚松森国立大学眼科就诊的146名18岁以下感染性角膜炎儿童。
113例患者（77%）培养结果呈阳性，其中70%为细菌感染，30%为真菌感染。凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌（23.1%）、金黄色葡萄球菌（19.2%）、铜绿假单胞菌（12.8%）和肺炎链球菌（12.8%）是最常见的分离微生物。枝顶孢属（25%）、镰刀菌属（14%）和烟曲霉（14%）是分离出的真菌。
在巴拉圭亚松森国立大学眼科检查的儿童溃疡性角膜炎大多起源于细菌感染。
