Abstract
Infantile acute dacryocystitis is an acute inflammation of the lacrimal sac in infants. The most common pathogens are Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative rods. We report a case of infantile polymicrobial acute dacryocystitis. A 6-week-old girl presented emergently with eye edema, discharge, and fever. Symptoms resolved with nasolacrimal probing and systemic antibiotics. Intraoperative cultures were positive for Serratia marcescens, Haemophilus aphrophilus, and Prevotella intermedia. This case highlights the importance of considering uncommon pathogens in the etiology of infantile dacryocystitis.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
