Nata asks:

Hello! My gynecologist found in a smear on the flora Staphylococcus aureus.I went through a course of antibiotics, but after 10 minutes my temperature returned to 37.2 (which I have had for about 20 years, and returned to normal during the treatment), the burning sensation in my eyes and genitals returned. I concluded that all my troubles, including infertility with unexplained reasons may be associated with an infection. Tell me what can be the way out of this situation and which doctor I need to contact. Thank you in advance!

Responsible Gunkov Sergey Vasilievich:

Dear Nata. In this situation, it is necessary to investigate the state of immunity and make its correction.

Igor asks:

Good afternoon. I have a problem with Staphylococcus aureus in my nose. Almost 2 years ago, the first very painful acne in the nose, such as a boil, began to appear. Then I thought it was a common cold. But after a few months, a nightmare began (such as vasomotor rhinitis). He haunted me for months. Either the snot flows from the nose, or the nose is blocked completely, so it is impossible to inhale or exhale. Constant sneezes, itchy nose and eyes. Only nasal electrophoresis with diphenhydramine helped. But it didn't help for long. Then there was an antibiotic for staphylococcus quartz. It became a little easier, but not longer than a month. Then another antibiotic, again I felt better, but not for long. And so, until now, I constantly suffer from the nose. There are short periods improvement, and after them prolonged periods of exacerbation. But I do not believe that this is a problem, since allergies appear with a rash in the nose and go away with it. After that, I did a pimple-capacity tank culture in a private laboratory. This time I did not undergo treatment, because I do not believe that just a course of antibiotics will help me. From people who overcame staphylococcus I heard about treatment with staphylococcal bacteriophage. I also heard about the existence of a staphylococcal vaccine, but unfortunately the ENT doctor could not tell me anything about it. Advise me what to do? Can bacteriophage be used? I just don't know who to trust anymore. . Maybe I need to pay attention to immunity? Any additional tests? Tell me please!

Responsible Tarasevich Tatyana Nikolaevna:

Hello Igor!
It is not entirely clear who prescribed the treatment for you and who controls it now. All treatment should be carried out under the supervision of an ENT doctor, it is possible with the participation of an immunologist. Most likely your illness - the infectious nature, instead of allergic. If your ENT doctor has not heard of specific treatment staphylococcus, it is better to refer to more experienced specialist, fully examined - sowing from the nose, biochemical analysis blood, immunogram; and after that already be taken for any treatment.

asks Kupriyanov Sergey:

My wife was found to have Staphylococcus aureus in her mouth and nose, as well as in her eyes. Are there any methods of treating staphylococcus with bacteriophages? Experience with antibiotic treatment positive result does not give.

Responsible Medical consultant of the portal "site":

Hello Sergey! Staphylococcus aureus is a representative of the normal flora of the human body and is often found in bacteriological studies. This microbe is transmitted through household contacts, as well as through food and water. Since Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the group of opportunistic microorganisms, in some cases it can cause diseases (tonsillitis, food poisoning, pustular diseases). However, for the development of diseases, it is necessary that changes occur in the host organism, allowing staphylococcus to manifest its pathogenic properties. These changes include damage to the skin and mucous membranes, metabolic disorders, changes in work immune system. Staphylococci adapt very quickly to various antibiotics(become insensitive), so antibiotic treatment staphylococcus is either not carried out at all or is carried out only after a study of the flora for sensitivity. Treatment of staphylococcus and staph infection bacteriophage, staphylococcal toxoid, bifido drugs have been carried out for a long time, doctors have already accumulated sufficient experience in the use of these drugs. Seek advice from an infectious disease specialist. Be healthy!

asks Valentina Viktorovna:

Hello! Help heal! We live in Belgium, but I have never seen such stupid (or lazy) doctors as here, there is simply no one to turn to. My husband's ears itch very much, there are large suppurations, a yellowish liquid is released, a headache around the ears. Then there was inflammation on the eyelids. Treatment consisted only of prescribing an antibiotic, then another antibiotic, then another and another. And this despite the fact that even no one has ever looked into the ears! It was I who insisted on an analysis, because I had the same signs of the disease, which by itself speaks of an infection. And of course, an infection was found in the ears - Staphylococcus aureus. We were told about this by phone. This is where it all ended. The disease has been going on for 7 months already, I "shoveled" the entire Internet in search of an answer to the question: what should I do? and stumbled upon your advice, help! Now we smear in the ears with brilliant green, and in the eyes with tetracycline eye ointment,- all treatments this moment...

Responsible Borisenko Oleg Nikolaevich:

Valentina Viktorovna! You need to decide what disease your husband has: otitis media accompanied by otitis externa or only otitis externa. This depends on the choice medical tactics. Only an otorhinolaryngologist can determine this after examining the ears - otoscopy.

Olga asks:

Hello! Help me please! I was found to have staphylococcus in my eyes (my eyes hurt a lot every day). Treatment was prescribed: ciprofloxacin 4r. per day, 1 drop for 10 days, ketotifen 2 p. per day, 1 drop in tech. month. I have been treated this way twice. For the first time after treatment, it was easier for a month. And then things got worse again. After the second course, it didn’t even get easier. What should I do now to treat? I read on your site about staphylococcal bacteriophage. Is it suitable in my case and does it have any form for treating the eyes specifically? Thanks in advance

Vladimir asks:

Hello. Can bacteriophage staphylococcal be instilled into the eyes when treating staphylococcus aureus? The instructions (staphylococcal bacteriophage) do not say anything about eye treatment. Only the instructions for Klebsiella b-phage are allowed to be used in the eyes.

Responsible Prokhvachova Elena Stanislavovna:

Hello Vladimir. In the presence of bacterial infection It is optimal to do a culture of the contents of the conjunctiva with the determination of sensitivity to antibiotics. After that, it will become clear to which antibiotic your Staphylococcus aureus is sensitive. I wish you health!

Anatoly asks:

In September, I was diagnosed with acute obstructive bronchitis. I was treated in a hospital (droppers, antibiotics). I underwent spirometry, X-ray of the lungs, donated blood, everything is fine. I was disturbed by attacks of suffocation mainly at night, wheezing, tearing, sneezing, runny nose. Salbutamol was prescribed. Applied as needed - not often. 2.11.13 Allergist diagnosed polyvalent allergy. Allergy tests: rye pollen-5.5, mixed tree pollen-6.8, hake fish-2.2; cod - 1.1, chicken meat - 3.4, with oatmeal - 4.1; The level of immunoglobulin is 42.3, at a rate of up to 25.
Appointed: avamys spray, except for sandoz, erius, alergokrom and follow a diet.
I drank Erius for 10 days, I continue to drip into my nose and eyes, but yesterday there was a strong exacerbation - I was suffocating, I used salbutamol 4 times a day. A week ago, the condition began to worsen - I can’t breathe normally, whistling in my chest, asthma attacks became more frequent. Advise what to do next? Was the treatment sufficient? If necessary additional examination and what? Is allergy treated completely or is it a lifelong diagnosis? Thanks in advance for advice.

Xenia asks:

Hello! I would like to ask you for help in identifying the cause follicular conjunctivitis. If you tell vkratsii, then bumps appeared more than a year ago, I noticed bumps on my eyelids (it was not accompanied by pain), I wear lenses and naturally I constantly climb into my eyes, and then I feel foreign object, and began to examine the eye, turned the eyelid and there was a lump, the same thing on the other eye. and this summer I decided to have an operation to remove these chalazions, I went to another hospital to see a doctor (who does operations along the way), he wrote ointments, drops, and if I have a desire to remove the chalazion, sign up for the operation. When I came to recording and saw how many people were standing there, I decided to have the operation not in a hospital, but in an eye microsurgery clinic, I did not trust free hospitals, and I was very worried about how the operation would go. But when I saw a microsurgery doctor (Khabarovsk eye microsurgery), it turned out that this was not chalazion and follicular conjunctivitis. Appointed monthly treatment drops from allergies, antiviral and antibacterial, it is also impossible to wear lenses during treatment. There were no improvements, I was tested for chlomidia, negative. They took a smear for bacteria, fungus, allergic reaction- they found Staphylococcus aureus, drank antibiotics, again drops in the eyes - as a result, weakly positive dynamics. The doctor cannot find out the cause of these bumps. At the moment, I donated blood for immunoramm, this is the last opportunity to find the cause of my disease. If it doesn’t show anything, then the doctor will no longer treat me and will give me a referral to the city hospital to the ophthalmologist, but I really don’t want to go there, they even have a wrong diagnosis Please help, tell me, what else can cause this sore?? I do not wear lenses now, as I am being treated, I always change them on time on time, Bosch and Lomb lenses for 3 months recent times I wore colored ones with diopters, their material is polymacon, I used to wear lenses for one month, I take everything off on time, I put it in the solution, I change the water every day, everything is in order with hygiene. the evening is red, there are white discharges at the end of the day, they accumulate but there are few of them, the eyes are like puffed up, I have already forgotten how they looked before. Please help, write, due to what other reasons could this disease occur? I am completely confused.

Responsible Kozina Ekaterina Nikolaevna:

Unfortunately wearing contact lenses after a few years often causes a number of complications. This is the reason for the rejection of contact lenses. These complications can be very difficult to treat.
One of them, giant papillary conjunctivitis, is papillary changes in the conjunctiva, similar to the picture of follicular conjunctivitis. The nature of the disease is toxic-allergic, the treatment is long. The development of chalazions is also possible in parallel - after all, the local immunity of the eyes is reduced. But here changes are taking place in the thickness of the century.
I recommend not to refuse a consultation with another specialist, in your case you need an examination by a doctor who has experience in treating contact lens complications. Such specialists usually work in contact correction rooms.

Popular articles on the topic: staphylococcus in the eyes treatment

Staphylococci are widely distributed in environment, many of them permanently live in human body without causing harm. At the same time, staphylococcal infection is the cause of many very serious illnesses. Let's take a look at the phenomenon.

Epidemiology, prevalence Reliable data on the prevalence of ulcerative lesions of the cornea is not available. However, corneal ulcer is classified as severe eye diseases, difficult to treat and almost always ending ...

Progresses in humans quite often, pathogenic bacteria are present on the human body almost constantly. Only favorable conditions for this, provoking an increase in the number of bacteria, can provoke a disease of Staphylococcus aureus in the eyes.

Pathology is different different form diseases, which sometimes entail the most serious consequences. Most often, newborns, infants, preschoolers, people of retirement age fall into the risk zone. Although, anyone who exposes themselves to the risk of infection can get sick with such a common disease.

How dangerous the disease of staphylococcus aureus, eye becomes, depends on what provoked it. Most often, pathology develops as a result of reduced work of the immune system.

You need to understand that clinical manifestations pass without a trace after a couple of days, a infection remains, and continuing to develop, affects the visual organs. In addition, a person becomes a carrier of bacteria.

Having diagnosed the disease staphylococcus in the eyes, treatment begins with general strengthening therapies. Antibacterial drugs are prescribed local use(gels, ointments, drops), to destroy an eye infection.

These can be Tetracycline and Levomycitin ointments. Ointments are applied up to four times a day, and after the eyes stop "clouding", they continue to complex treatment about a week.

Eye drops are instilled into the eyes, for example, Albucid, washed with a furatsilin solution. In addition, it is necessary to keep the organs of vision exceptionally clean, washing with decoctions of chamomile, plantain, dandelion, or at least warm water.

Often doctors prescribe eye baths, allow the instillation of natural juices medicinal herbs, for example, aloe juice.

Prescribe a course of general strengthening drugs, antibiotics, vitamins. So, to cure staphylococcus in the eye, the doctor may prescribe: Norfoxalin, Clarithromycin, Gentamicin. Until all bacteria are destroyed, the disease cannot be considered cured.

It is important to wear special tinted glasses during treatment so that you do not additionally irritate your eyes with light, winds, and dust particles. Otherwise, vision loss will begin, activity and performance will decrease.

Treatment of staphylococcus eyes in newborns

Very often, a similar eye disease is observed in newborns. The cause is infection from the mother, severe pregnancy, the presence of certain chronic diseases.

In this case, the doctor examines not only little patient, but also checks the mother for carriage infectious disease, Both are prescribed a course of treatment.

Usually, the main symptom is tearing of the child's eyes, blurred vision, swelling and redness of the eyelids, enveloping the eyes after sleep with a substance of a gray-yellow hue.

The kid tries to reach his eyes with his fists, is naughty, refuses to eat.

The doctor, determining the degree of damage to the eyes, general state the baby, the reasons that provoked such a phenomenon, decides how to treat staphylococcus aureus in the eyes of a child, taking into account the individual tolerance of drugs.

Drops are usually given with antimicrobial properties.

When the eyes are severely affected, treatment with wound-healing, anti-inflammatory drugs designed specifically for children, which have the most gentle effects, may be necessary. Washing with warm water, antibacterial solutions.

Mom is advised to strictly monitor the cleanliness of their hands., For Baby Hygiene. Avoid rubbing the eyes of the child. Toys, nipples, which, when infected by a child, were used to be disinfected, but it is better to throw them away altogether.

Often children of this age relapse, so doctors recommend a course restorative means that activate the immune system. Repeat analyzes are needed.

Prevention

Among the measures to prevent Staphylococcus aureus, which occurs in front of a person, experts note the following:

• keep hands and face clean;
• use only clean, own towels, bedding;
• detect the disease early stages occurrence.

If you have not been able to avoid infection, the disease has just begun to manifest itself, immediately go to an appointment with an ophthalmologist, especially if we are talking about children. In the early stages, staphylococcus aureus is quickly treated and does not entail any serious consequences.

Newborns are most at risk of infection. This is due to the fact that they still do not have enough active immune defense. Often the visual apparatus can be infected in medical institution(at the maternity hospital). If the parents are carriers of staph, then the baby can get the bacteria from them.

Staphylococcus in the eyes requires prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment. The pathogen easily and rather quickly spreads within the visual apparatus. These bacteria rarely cause lethal outcome, however, can significantly damage the organs of vision. Staphylococci almost instantly develop resistance to the next new antibiotics. Against this background, early diagnosis/treatment is of particular importance.

Symptoms of reproduction of staphylococcus in the visual apparatus

Symptoms of a staphylococcal eye infection can appear almost immediately after infection:

• swelling of the eye;
• excessive reflex exudation (eyelashes stick together during sleep, and after waking up, crusts can be found on the eyelids);
• hyperemia of the conjunctiva (a reaction to blood flow, indicating the onset of inflammatory processes);
• photophobia;
• annoying itching;
• constant burning;
• pain.

Conjunctivitis as the first symptom of eye infection is already the basis for testing for staphylococcus aureus. Delaying the examination leads to the spread of inflammation further. Against this background, there headache, loss of strength, rapid fatigue. A slight rise in temperature is possible.

Diagnosis and treatment of infection

Diagnosis of the disease begins with a clinical examination, taking a smear from the conjunctiva zone. Microbiological research is necessary here, without it it is very difficult to determine what the cause pain is staphylococcus aureus. In the process of diagnosis, sowing is carried out on a special nutrient medium and, after a few days, the grown colonies are examined.

As for getting rid of any other disease, there are folk ways fight against staphylococcus visual apparatus, as well as medications.

Pharmacy medicines

From medications When the eyes are infected with staphylococcus aureus, the following agents are most often prescribed:

• chloramphenicol eye drops;
• drops and ointments with fluoroquinolones;
• tetracycline ointment;
• bacteriophage staphylococcal;
• penicillins;
• macrolides.

Levomycetin eye drops are a potent universal drug that is detrimental to staphylococcus aureus. AT different dosage They are suitable for young children and adults.

The antibacterial components that make up the drops and ointments with fluoroquinolones show the expected results in the treatment and prevention of eye infections. They have a post-antibiotic effect, that is, ophthalmic fluoroquinolones not only kill harmful microorganisms, but also inhibit the possible re-growth of surviving bacteria within 2-6 hours after exposure.

Tetracycline ointment is used for conjunctivitis, trachoma and other infectious inflammations eye. The agent is laid behind the lower eyelid 3-5 times a day. It is not suitable for pregnant women and children under 8 years of age.

Staphylococcal bacteriophage is taken orally 2-3 times a day one hour before meals (on an empty stomach). It is usually prescribed in a course of 7-20 days. This drug can be recommended even for newborns. Recommended staphylococcal bacteriophage for the treatment of purulent-inflammatory diseases caused by these microorganisms. It can be used in combination with antibiotics.

Usually staph is treated with antibiotics from the penicillin group, but bacteria quickly develop resistance to them, and these drugs may not be suitable.

Antibiotics such as macrolides are used if staphylococcus aureus is insensitive to penicillins and fluoroquinolones.

Folk remedies

Washing the eyes with a solution of chamomile has long been used for the appearance of crusts on the eyes (glued eyelashes), as well as for chemical burns. During the procedure, the hands must be thoroughly washed, and the cotton swabs used for this must be sterile.

First, closed eyes are flushed from a new large syringe (without a needle), then the eyelids are parted, and the jet is gently directed from the temple to the nose. If cotton swabs are used, gently wipe and rinse first closed eyelids. The second disc must be soaked in a decoction and squeezed over open eye. A day is allowed to do no more than 6 washes. By the same principle, calendula, aloe juice can be used (it is diluted with water 1 to 4).

Washing the eyes with tea leaves is widely used. Need to brew strong tea and let it cool down. Then, after wetting a cotton pad, gently wipe the eyelids.

Important! For each eye, be sure to take only a separate cotton swab! Used material must be discarded.

The medicines prescribed by the attending physician are best combined with eye washes. For example, do this before laying ointments or instilling drops. The more often the "shower" procedure is carried out, the faster inflammation will pass. But do not be too zealous, there should be about 4-6 washes per day.

During the treatment of staphylococcus, restorative therapy is also used. It is better for the patient to use dark glasses at this time so that photophobia does not bring unnecessary pain. This will also protect against wind and flying debris. Be sure to keep your eyes and hands clean. Ignoring the recommendations may delay the treatment of the infection.

Mechanism of eye infection with staphylococcus aureus

There are several ways to get into the visual organ of Staphylococcus aureus. It is easy to get infected if you touch your face and eyes with unwashed hands. Very often, inflammation occurs when sand, chips, scale, etc. get into the eye.

Staphylococcus aureus may appear after an injury to the visual apparatus.

Violation of hygiene when wearing contact lenses also creates a risk of infection with this microorganism. If the lenses are damaged or poorly rinsed, infection is provided a convenient route to the eye. In general, in any case, non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene is fraught with the introduction of staphylococcus into the visual organ. This is especially true when dealing with a bacteria carrier.

Prevention of eye infection with staphylococcus aureus

Preventive measures against entry pathogenic flora not so much and it's easy to get used to them. First of all, be sure to observe personal hygiene:

• avoid repeated use of disposable wipes;
• have a separate towel for each family member;
• Wash your hands regularly and touch your eyes as little as possible.

In addition, it is necessary to adhere to the hygiene of wearing contact lenses. They should be changed in accordance with the instructions: daily, monthly or quarterly. Before putting on and taking off, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and dry with a clean towel. The lenses themselves should be washed and stored in a sterile solution, which should be replaced after each contact with the fingers or the ingress of debris, dirt.

Neglecting the hygiene of wearing soft contact lenses very often leads to the appearance of various inflammations and the introduction of bacteria into the eyes.

Features of staphylococcal eye infections

The human organ of vision has a complex structure, but is very fragile, and people do not always follow hygiene and often touch dirty hands eyes. As a result, infection with bacteria occurs, and staphylococcus aureus is found in the eyes.

Causes of staphylococcal infections

Staphylococcus in the eyes develops depending on the tone of the immune system. Pathogens enter the body to a person through bodily contact, unwashed hands, mucous membranes and wounds on the skin. The carrier at the same time is able not to get sick with a staphylococcal infection.

When pathogens enter desired organ, then their reproduction begins. Bacteria strike most infected area.

A person can become infected by airborne droplets. This occurs during sneezing, communication, using the same utensils or other household items. The most common causes of a staph infection in the body are:

• neglect of personal hygiene;
• injuries of the visual organ;
• abuse of alcoholic beverages;
• chronic diseases endocrine system;
• long-term use of antibiotics or vasodilators;
• hypothermia;
• previous diseases of a viral nature;
• swimming in a dirty pond.

A patient with a staphylococcal infection most often does not take care of his hygiene. This includes the neglect of washing hands after the street.

If there is an injury or hit foreign body in the eyes, then the disease develops. In this case, urgent assistance is needed. Inaction will lead not only to a staph infection, but redness or retinal hemorrhage will occur.

Staphylococcus in the eyes

During long-term treatment due to medicines against the background of reduced immunity, a staphylococcal infection develops. The protective function of the body declines after the use of antibiotics. Immunity is also affected by alcohol abuse, which, in combination with antibiotics, causes a staphylococcal infection.

The bacterium is resistant to negative factors environment. If treatment for another disease takes place in a hospital, then due to non-sterile medical equipment bacterial infection occurs.

When pathogens enter the body, the development of microorganisms does not occur in all infected people. This means that a person's immunity is in good shape. The development of staphylococcus occurs in conditions of weakened protective function organism.

In some cases, the infection is not immediately diagnosed, which leads to the need for prolonged treatment.

The most common diseases

Staphylococcus in the eye leads to various diseases organ of vision. Pathologies differ in the degree of danger. Diseases from staphylococcus bacteria include the following manifestations:

With blepharitis, inflammation of the ciliary edges of the eyelids occurs, which is extremely uncomfortable for the patient.

The causative agent of blepharitis is Staphylococcus aureus, a type of hemolytic. This type of bacteria is considered the most dangerous. Its feature is considered to be adaptation to high and low temperatures, ultraviolet, drying, most antiseptics.

The disease can progress to chronic form. In this case, the patient's vision deteriorates. This is reflected in the general state of health and performance.

Damage to the eyelids with blepharitis is one of the risk factors for the development of barley on the eye. In 90-95% of cases, this disease develops due to the fault of Staphylococcus aureus.

With keratitis, the patient's cornea becomes inflamed. Trauma can serve as an impetus to the disease.

Microflora is located in the cavity of the organ of vision. When the eyes are damaged, these microorganisms cause inflammation.

• lack of vitamins;
• reduced immunity;
• violation of the endocrine system and metabolism;
• diabetes.

Keratitis is dangerous because the patient may lose sight. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.

When a person develops dacreocystitis, the lacrimal sac becomes inflamed. The disease in infants is distinguished into a special type.

The disease occurs when the growth of staphylococcus colonies and colds. The infection must be treated immediately to prevent its spread.

The disease endophthalmitis proceeds as a purulent inflammatory process that affects vitreous body. The disease is dangerous and without proper treatment can lead to loss of vision. The cause of endophthalmitis is trauma to the organ of vision and inflammation along with a staphylococcal infection.

Late treatment can lead to complications. With endophthalmitis, adjacent tissues are affected. The eye pressure decreases and the visual organ is deformed, which results in loss of vision.

Many diseases can be caused by other types of staphylococcus aureus. The development of inflammation in the eye is promoted by the epidermal appearance of the bacteria. Occurs in children who have not been reported or have undergone surgery.

Saprophytic staphylococcus rarely occurs in newborns, more common in adult women. This bacterium causes diseases of the genitourinary system.

Symptoms

With an infectious lesion of the organ of vision by staphylococcus, the signs of the disease are of a general nature. The following symptoms are distinguished:

• swelling and inflammation of the eyes;
• selection a large number exudate;
• redness of the whites of the eyes;
• photophobia;
• itching and burning;
• sharp or cutting pain.

During sleep, the patient releases an inflammatory secret, which leads to gluing of the eyelashes. In the morning, after waking up, crusts are found on the eyelids. Red eye syndrome is considered one of the first signs of the onset of inflammation.

Many people immediately think of conjunctivitis with these symptoms. The diagnosis of this disease includes a test for staphylococcal infection. If a person delays in contacting a doctor, then the disease develops further.

In this case, the symptoms have the following features:

• headache;
• general malaise;
• constant fatigue;
• rapid fatigue;
• temperature rise to 37-37.5 ° C.

With such signs, urgent help is needed to prevent complications and decrease (loss) of vision.

Features of the course of infection in a child, including in infants

Manifestations of staphylococcus are often non-specific, the signs of the disease depend on the specific disease. Diseases proceed in two stages:

• early unpleasant symptoms appear about six hours after infection.
• late is characterized by purulent rashes, comes after four days.

The infection can masquerade as dysbacteriosis, colds and diathesis. The pathogen is detected in laboratory tests.

Treatment must be carried out not on the bacterium itself, but on the diseases that were caused by the infection. If a pathogen is detected in a child, parents should monitor the behavior and condition of the baby.

Treatment

How to treat staphylococcal eye infections? After the diagnosis of the disease, the attending physician prescribes therapy for general strengthening organism. The patient is prescribed the following ointments:

The preparations are used 4 times a day. After elimination of secretion in large quantities, complex treatment is continued for another 7 days. Assign the following solutions or eye drops:

You can rinse your eyes with plain warm water. In some cases, the attending physician prescribes eye baths. Sometimes it is recommended to bury the juice of medicinal plants.

Along with this, in complex therapy medications include:

In some cases, they prescribe sunglasses to protect your eyes from light and pollution.

If a child becomes infected, then the mother is also checked for the presence of pathogens. In this case, treatment is prescribed for both patients.

Prevention of eye bacterial infections

• observe personal hygiene;
• use only clean napkins and towels intended for hands and face;
• do not touch your eyes with unwashed hands;
• when wearing contact lenses, it is necessary to observe the hygiene of the eyes and means optical correction.

The human eye is fragile and easy to infect, especially with visual impairment corrected by contact lenses.

Interesting information about the treatment of staphylococcus aureus in the video:

Before using optical correction products, you must thoroughly wash your hands with soap and store lenses only in a special container in solution. Otherwise, bacteria can enter the eye and subsequently become inflamed.

Doctor Komarovsky's opinion on Staphylococcus aureus

1 COMMENT

Drops are prescribed not when the pus has already ceased to stand out due to the use of the ointment, but immediately. Ointment is usually used at night, because. from her before the eyes of a veil, it is impossible to do anything. Against the background of sinusitis and otitis media, the infection went into my eyes, the infection itself is viral, but Staphylococcus aureus was also sown in the smear, moreover, a methicillin-resistant strain. I dripped Ciprolet for 5 days, then Tobrex, tetracycline ointment for the night. I don’t advise you to wash your eyes with “simple” warm water, at least it should be boiled, and then the mucous membrane dries. Better with saline or artificial tears. And there are still bacteriophages against the staff, but they are more fuss and expensive.

Also do not forget to thank the doctors.

ophthalmologist1 19:07

I really need your advice since I live in a small town with a population of 12 thousand people, we have one hospital and one ophthalmologist for the whole area.

Eye problems began in 2011. Symptoms are not pronounced: slight redness sclera, mild swelling and discharge of viscous clear liquid. The diagnosis was then made of cojunctivitis, a little later - blepharoconjunctivitis. During my visits to the hospital, I was prescribed levomecithin, poludan, ophthalmoferon, dilof, tobrodex, dexamethasone, tsiprolet (this is what I remember), valocardine for treating the edges of the eyelids, hydrocartisone ointment, which only made me feel worse. Medicines helped for a while, then everything started all over again. In 2011, I donated blood for toxocariasis (they say it happens from cats, a cat lives at my house), the result is negative. In 2012, they gave me a referral to the republican hospital (it is 100 km from us). They took a few cilia for analysis and diagnosed demodex. They prescribed some gels, I was treated, and it also seemed to get better. In the same place, she donated blood for chlamydia, the result was sent by mail, showed it to her doctor, she says - the result is negative. I'm not good at terms, but I'll try to depict what the result says: Chl trachomatis - IgA negative, Chl trachomatis - IgG negative. When, after some time, I again had to go to my hospital, I was diagnosed with chronic blepharoconjunctivitis. I tell the doctor, maybe I didn’t finish the demodex? She began to convince me that I did not have obvious signs demodex - red eyelids and scales, and almost everyone has ticks, they say. But when she looks into my eyes on her apparatus, pulling back her eyelid, she always says that I have a terribly swollen mucous membrane inside my eye, her expression: potholes and potholes. He says it looks like an allergy, I have already taken suprastin and some other pills several times, I did not use cosmetics, but the situation repeated itself.

In the fall, doctors from the republican eye clinic came to our city, checked for glaucoma, cataracts (negative), also said about the swelling of the mucous membrane and prescribed opatanol. But he didn't help me at all. I'm already tired of the uncertainty, so they recently did bakposev. I was already delighted (although what is there to be happy about?), At least something was discovered, but now I myself doubt that single and meager staphylococci are the cause of the condition of my eyes. For the fourth day I have been dripping tsiprolet, so far there is no effect. By the way, in the analysis for bacterial culture it is said that the staphylococcus found in me is sensitive to oxacillin, gentamicin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, lincomycin, vancomycin.

I will add that I am diagnosed with vasomotor rhinosinusopathy with allergic component(I start sneezing and blowing my nose with a sharp change in temperature, for example, if I eat ice cream in the heat or walk barefoot on a cold floor from a warm bed). Usually my sinusitis happens in autumn and spring.

There is no allergist in the area and never has been. As far as I know, there is only one doctor in the central republican hospital, it is also not easy to get to him, and you can’t run over 100 km. That's about all I wanted to add. In connection with the above, I want to ask specifically

2) whether cosmetics become infected with ticks, staphylococci, etc. The causative agents of eye diseases?

Kristina Arturovna, I will be very grateful for your answer, understand, I just don’t know what to do anymore. Thank you!

1. In our town they do not do cultures for mycoplasmas, chladymidia, adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, analysis for demodex - too. Should I insist that my doctor give a referral to a republican clinic (to go there, you have to spend a whole day and a lot of money on the road) or (sorry) immediately buy Demalan, Vagamox and a tear substitute?

2. Blefarogel-2 remained from the previous treatment, the expiration date is until November 2014. Can it be used somehow?

3. I spend a lot of time near the computer, I even watch TV via the Internet. Could this somehow lead to the condition of the eyes that I have?

4. I realized that causative agents of eye diseases are transmitted through a towel, pillowcase and even glasses. With a towel and a pillowcase, I know what to do. And how, with what and how often to process glasses?

Thank you, I hope for an answer.

ophthalmologist3 10:05

2. Blefarogel2 can be used after the indicated course (Vigamox, Demalan) 2 times a day in courses of 1 month every 3 months.

3. Long work at the computer exacerbates the manifestations of dry eye syndrome. You just need to use moisturizing drops more often when working at a computer.

4. Wash glasses with warm water ordinary soap everyday.

Once a week on Wednesdays I go to the bathhouse. After several visits to the steam room, pus begins to collect in front of my eyes, I have to constantly rinse my eyes with water. The next day, in the morning, it is impossible to open the eyes because the eyelashes are stuck together with pus, everything around the eyes swells.

On Thursday, the pus no longer flows, but the swelling subsides only on Friday morning. If you do not visit the bath, then no manifestations of the above condition are observed.

In 2013 and 2014 I took a swab from the conjunctiva, which resulted in the isolation of S. epidermidis.

The doctor prescribed me Tsiprolet. After 7 days of treatment with Tsiprolet and to check the result, the next trip to the bath, my condition changed to better side(there was practically no pus and the next morning there was no edema either). A month later (and to the present) everything happened again.

I understand that staphylococcus aureus cannot be cured by Cipral alone, complex treatment with various antibiotics is necessary. Could you advise what can be used to solve this problem.

Hello Svetlana! Your case is more like an allergic reaction (a kind of Quincke's edema). I recommend that you pay attention to your diet. Go to hypoallergenic diet and gradually introduce into the diet familiar products observing the state of the eyelids. Diet normalization (remove harmful products, correctly distinguish between the time and number of meals) often solves such issues. Of course, analyze the influence of objects household chemicals and cosmetics (within reason). If you do not find an answer in this area, then exclude edema of renal and cardiac origin - with the advice of appropriate specialists. Treat the skin around the eyes with a neutral moisturizer, and preferably Teagel.

Staphylococcus disease in the eyes of adults

Staphylococcus aureus progresses in humans quite often, pathogenic bacteria are present on the human body almost constantly. Only favorable conditions for this, provoking an increase in the number of bacteria, can provoke a disease of Staphylococcus aureus in the eyes.

Pathology is characterized by a different form of diseases, which sometimes entail the most serious consequences. Most often, newborns, infants, preschoolers, people of retirement age fall into the risk zone. Although, anyone who exposes themselves to the risk of infection can get sick with such a common disease.

Reasons for the development of Staphylococcus aureus

How dangerous the disease of staphylococcus aureus, eye becomes, depends on what provoked it. Most often, pathology develops as a result of reduced work of the immune system.

Bacteria enter the body from the carrier, which itself may not get sick at the same time, through mucous, damaged skin.

Penetrating, microorganisms begin to develop instantly, affecting most of the organ.

Bacteria can be transmitted in different ways. Infection occurs from a sick person by airborne droplets, sneezing, close contact, communication. After using the same dishes, other people's towels, household items.

Often the cause of the disease is the lack of hygiene, when a person coming from the street simply does not wash his hands, or by inhaling dirty air, dust.

The disease develops after eye injuries, foreign bodies. At long treatments certain drugs, chronic diseases, such as antibiotics.

Alcohol abuse and lack of personal hygiene are often the cause of infection. Staphylococcus is a complex organism that remains resistant to many irritants, which is why the negligence of physicians, the non-sterility of instruments, lead to infection of the patient, right in the hospital.

When staphylococcus bacteria enter the body, not everyone gets sick - this is due to strong immunity, strong physical condition. Most often, staphylococcus in the eyes of adults develops with long-term treatment of some chronic disease when the body is weak.

Provoke the development of staphylococcus aureus chronic diseases endocrine and long reception antibiotics, vasoconstrictor drugs. As well as constant exposure to the cold, the presence of viral infections in the body, bathing in dirty water.

It is important to understand that absolutely all areas of the visual organ are infected, if treatment is not started on time, the consequences can be terrible, up to partial loss of vision.

The consequences of a staphylococcal eye infection can be safe, provided that the pathology begins to be treated in the early stages of occurrence.

If it is not possible to immediately recognize the disease, the treatment is delayed, then the organs of vision may suffer from other pathologies that are no less dangerous. As soon as the infection penetrates the cornea of ​​​​the eye, keratitis will occur, which in fact will lead to loss of vision.

Clinical manifestations

To be able to recognize the pathology on your own, you need to know what staphylococcus looks like before your eyes, a photo of the disease can be seen below. In addition, the disease differs in some features of the manifestation.

There is redness around the eyes, the eyelids swell, it is felt slight pain in the eyes, burning, pupils begin to react painfully to bright light, tears flow, eyes become more sensitive.

The corners of the eyes itch, dryness occurs, and after sleep, the eyelids tighten with a kind of crust of a golden, gray hue.

The crust must be washed with water, if you touch it, then it crumbles like sugar from the eyelids and corners of the eyes.

In this case, the patient:

• the temperature rises;
• headaches occur;
• irritation appears;
• there is a feeling of fatigue, malaise.

The general condition of the body, age characteristics, cause staphylococcus aureus in different ways in the eyes, the symptoms can be pronounced or slightly noticeable.

However, the crust around the eyes after sleep is always present and means the beginning of the inflammatory process, the presence infectious agent in the body. It seems that the eyes after sleep are slightly glued together, weighed down.

How to treat Staphylococcus aureus

Of course, it is possible to treat the disease on your own, provided that you are not faced with it for the first time and know what to do, this does not apply to children. Yes, and for adults, in any case, it is advisable to go to an appointment with a specialist who will tell you how to treat staphylococcus aureus, finding out the causes of the pathology.

You need to understand that the clinical manifestations pass without a trace after a couple of days, and the infectious infection remains, and continuing to develop, affects the visual organs. In addition, a person becomes a carrier of bacteria.

Having diagnosed the disease of staphylococcus in the eyes, treatment begins with restorative therapies. Antibacterial drugs of local use (gels, ointments, drops) are prescribed to destroy the eye infection.

These can be Tetracycline and Levomycitin ointments. Ointments are applied up to four times a day, and after the eyes stop "clouding", a more complex treatment is continued for about a week.

Eye drops are instilled into the eyes, for example, Albucid, washed with a furatsilin solution. In addition, it is necessary to keep the organs of vision exceptionally clean, washing with decoctions of chamomile, plantain, dandelion, or at least warm water.

Often, doctors prescribe eye baths, allow the instillation of natural juices of medicinal herbs, for example, aloe juice.

Prescribe a course of restorative drugs, antibiotics, vitamins. So, to cure staphylococcus in the eye, the doctor may prescribe: Norfoxalin, Clarithromycin, Gentamicin. Until all the bacteria of the microorganism are destroyed, the disease cannot be considered cured.

It is important to wear special tinted glasses during treatment so that you do not additionally irritate your eyes with light, winds, and dust particles. Otherwise, vision loss will begin, activity and performance will decrease.

Treatment of staphylococcus eyes in newborns

Very often, a similar eye disease is observed in newborns. The cause is infection from the mother, a difficult pregnancy, the presence of some chronic diseases.

In this case, the doctor examines not only a small patient, but also checks the mother for the presence of an infectious disease, prescribes a course of treatment for both.

Usually, the main symptom is tearing of the child's eyes, blurred vision, swelling and redness of the eyelids, enveloping the eyes after sleep with a substance of a gray-yellow hue.

The kid tries to reach his eyes with his fists, is naughty, refuses to eat.

The doctor, determining the degree of eye damage, the general condition of the baby, the reasons that provoked such a phenomenon, decides how to treat staphylococcus aureus in the eyes of a child, taking into account the individual tolerance of drugs.

Drops that differ in antimicrobial properties are usually prescribed.

When the eyes are severely affected, treatment with wound-healing, anti-inflammatory drugs designed specifically for children, which have the most gentle effects, may be necessary. Washing with warm water, antibacterial solutions.

Mom is advised to strictly monitor the cleanliness of her hands, the hygiene of the baby. Avoid rubbing the eyes of the child. Toys, nipples, which, when infected by a child, were used to be disinfected, but it is better to throw them away altogether.

Relapses often occur in children of this age, so doctors recommend a course of general strengthening agents that activate the immune system. Repeat analyzes are needed.

Prevention

Among the measures to prevent Staphylococcus aureus, which occurs in front of a person, experts note the following:

• keep hands and face clean;
• use only clean, own towels, bedding;
• detect the disease at an early stage.

If you could not avoid infection, the disease has just begun to manifest itself, immediately go to an appointment with an ophthalmologist, especially when it comes to children. In the early stages, staphylococcus aureus is quickly treated and does not entail any serious consequences.

Inna asks:

Hello! Problems with the eyes. Chronic conjunctivitis for three years already. Epidermal staphylococcus aureus is found in the smear, abundant growth. Eyes turn red in the evening, white discharge in the corners of the eyes. I tried all possible antibiotics, no improvement. I wash it with calendula.

The task of treating chronic conjunctivitis pretty complicated. First you need to try to install what supports this chronic process. It can be chronic dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac), and demodicosis of the eyelids, and inflammatory processes in the nose, sinuses (usually maxillary), in the mouth. And you don't have to try everything. possible antibiotics, but to those that have sensitivity.

Hello! Tell me please, how can I get rid of staphylococcus in my eyes? . as far as I know, antibiotic drops are used after the operation, and they make me feel worse (I tried to treat staphylococcus aureus) We don’t do tests for sensitivity to bacteriophages, and they don’t know which ones are possible in my case, so all hope is only on you. Maybe though would it be possible to reduce it to 2 degrees? Thank you very much in advance !!!

Responsible Molebnaya Oksana Vasilievna:

You had to do not just bacteriological culture from the conjunctiva, but culture with sensitivity to antibiotics, and then use antibiotics to which there is sensitivity for treatment.

Galina asks:

I live in Mariupol. I'm 43 years old. I started having problems with my eyes three months ago. At first, the eyes turned red. I started washing with chamomile, calendula. Didn't help. I drank albucid. Also no effect. Then the eyes began to swell in the morning. There are a few highlights in the corners. Went to the doctor. The diagnosis is conjunctivitis. Appointed oftadek. Didn't help. I passed the sowing - epidermal staphylococcus aureus 100 units. Okomistin didn't help either. Gentamicin, to which there was sensitivity, did not help, erothromycin ointment, too. The redness has passed, but in the morning the eyes swell, and in the evening there was a burning sensation. I passed the sowing again - epidermal staphylococcus aureus 1000 units in one eye, and in the one that bothered me less, the other eye was negative. Herpes was not found, demodex too. Another doctor prescribed Dexon. Within four days there was an improvement, then it stopped helping. After it stopped dripping, in 2 days everything returned to its previous state. Antiallergic drops and drugs inside did not help. Poked a month water solution propolis - without any changes, but for some time after instillation it is easier. Today's analysis - both eyes are negative. The eyes are again slightly red, swollen in the morning, the right one is larger, it hurts a little and bakes, sometimes along the edge of the eyelid white coating, tears and some kind of caking and sticky liquid stand out. What's this? Conjunctivitis or something else. The blood test is good, there is no sugar, the maxillary sinuses are clean, the teeth are periodontitis. Maybe something else to check?

Responsible Averyanova Oksana Sergeevna:

You need to do tests on tear film stability and tear production. Perhaps you have dry eye syndrome and need to apply moisturizing drops.

One of the most severe infections organs of vision is staphylococcus aureus in the eyes. The disease is accompanied by burning, photophobia, the appearance of pus and the formation of crusts on the eyelids. The condition is dangerous with complications in the form of clouding of the cornea, phlegmon of eye structures, sepsis. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor at the first symptoms, who will diagnose, prescribe antibiotic therapy and give preventive recommendations.

Why does pathology occur?

Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis, a species that affects skin. Once in the organs of vision, the bacterium multiplies and releases endotoxin. The main causes of staphylococcal eye infections are the following factors:

• non-compliance with personal hygiene;
• touching the eyes with contaminated hands;
• decreased immunity;
• contact with a person with Staphylococcus aureus;
• use of non-disinfected infected items - combs, razors, towels, dishes;
• eye injury;
• incorrectly rendered first aid when a foreign body enters the organ of vision;
• use of non-sterile instruments in beauty salons;
• uncontrolled and long-term use antibiotics.

The appearance of staphylococcus in a child is provoked by the reasons:

Against the background of late toxicosis in the mother, the baby can become infected with this bacterium in utero.

• late maternal toxicosis during pregnancy;
• prematurity;
• complications during pregnancy;
• retardation of intrauterine development;
• weak immunity;
• unsanitary living conditions.

• temperature rise;
• swelling and hyperemia of the eyelids;
• pain in the eyes in bright light;

• Sepsis. Endotoxins secreted by Staphylococcus aureus can cause life-threatening septic shock. Also, microorganisms can penetrate the brain, causing meningitis, or spread throughout the body with blood and lymph flow, forming foci of infection in the liver, kidneys, and lungs. AT severe cases it threatens to be fatal.

Diagnostic measures

Symptoms of the disease often pass quickly, but this means that the person has become a carrier of the bacterium.

After an external examination of the patient's organs of vision, the doctor may prescribe a biochemical blood test for him.

An ophthalmologist can determine staphylococcus in the eyes. The doctor performs an external examination, examines the history for the etiology of the disease and prescribes diagnostic methods, such as:

• general and biochemical blood test;
• bacteriological examination of purulent discharge from the eyes.
