通过对培养自角膜刮片的微生物的分析,在几项研究中对微生物角膜炎的流行病学进行了调查。然而,缺乏不同微生物在世界不同地区引起角膜炎的频率的比较。我们提出了一篇综述,结合了对来自世界各地的研究数据的分析。这些数据提供了在世界不同地区发现培养阳性微生物的频率的比较。来自北美、澳大利亚、荷兰和新加坡的研究报告称,细菌性角膜溃疡的比例最高。巴拉圭的一项研究发现葡萄球菌溃疡的比例最高,而曼谷的一项研究报告的假单胞菌溃疡的比例最高。来自印度和尼泊尔的研究发现,真菌感染的比例最高。对这些观测到的地理变化的可能解释进行了讨论。
The epidemiology of microbial keratitis has been investigated in several studies by analysis of organisms cultured from corneal scrapes. However, a comparison of the frequency of different organisms causing keratitis in different parts of the world is lacking. We present a review incorporating an analysis of data from studies worldwide. The data provide a comparison of the frequency of culture-positive organisms found in different parts of the world. The highest proportion of bacterial corneal ulcers was reported in studies from North America, Australia, the Netherlands and Singapore. The highest proportion of staphylococcal ulcers was found in a study from Paraguay whilst the highest proportion of pseudomonas ulcers was reported in a study from Bangkok. The highest proportions of fungal infections were found in studies from India and Nepal. Possible explanations for these observed geographic variations are discussed.
