The aim of this article to study causative organisms for scleral buckle (SB) infections in North India.
A retrospective review of records was done for all patients who have undergone SB removal at our institute between January 2009 and December 2017. The records were analyzed for etiological agent of the infected buckle and its antibiotic sensitivity.
A total of 43 samples were analyzed and a positive culture was noted in 35 (81.40%) cases. The buckle infection rate at our institute was noted to be 2.53%. The commonest organism causing SB infections was Staphylococcus - 15 (42.6%) cases, followed by Pseudomonas - 6 (17.14%) cases and Fungi - 6 (17.14%) cases. The median interval between retinal detachment surgery and buckle explantation was 3 years.
A large variety of organisms may cause SB infections. The commonest organism found to cause buckle infections in our study was Staphylococcus sp.
本文旨在研究印度北部巩膜扣带（SB）感染的病原体。
对 2009 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月在我院行 SB 取出术的所有患者的病历进行回顾性分析。分析感染扣带的病原体及其抗生素敏感性。
共分析了 43 例标本，35 例（81.40%）有阳性培养。我院 SB 感染率为 2.53%。引起 SB 感染的最常见病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌-15 例（42.6%），其次是假单胞菌-6 例（17.14%）和真菌-6 例（17.14%）。视网膜脱离手术后与扣带取出术之间的中位数间隔为 3 年。
多种病原体可引起 SB 感染。在本研究中，最常见的病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌。
