| Summary: | Bacterial keratitis is an urgent problem in ophthalmology, representing a threatening condition for the anatomy and function of the eyeball. The disease is widespread and varies significantly depending on the geographical region, even within the same country. The BC clinic is well-known, has been studied in sufficient detail, but in real practice it often causes significant difficulties in diagnosis, since it largely resembles a keratitis clinic of another etiology. A significant role in the differential diagnosis of these diseases is played by laboratory tests, which are not always available and easy to perform and implement. The results of the bacteriological analysis have a delayed period, which may be critical for determining the correct treatment tactics, but, nevertheless, the information that can be obtained about the microbe and its sensitivity to ABP makes it possible to better cope with the infectious process. The development and introduction of new laboratory research methods into modern clinical practice is very relevant, could simplify and speed up the diagnosis of the disease, and with it increase the effectiveness of its treatment. |
