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.

一例罕见的婴幼儿急性多菌性泪囊炎病例，病原体包括大肠沙雷氏菌、阿弗氏嗜血杆菌和中间普雷沃特氏菌。

婴儿急性泪囊炎是婴儿泪囊的一种急性炎症。最常见的病原体是革兰氏阳性球菌和革兰氏阴性杆菌。我们报告了一例婴儿多微生物急性泪囊炎病例。一名 6 周大的女孩因眼部水肿、分泌物增多和发烧急诊就诊。经过鼻泪管探查和全身抗生素治疗后，症状缓解。术中培养结果显示，马氏沙雷氏菌、阿弗嗜血杆菌和中间普雷沃特氏菌均呈阳性。该病例强调了考虑婴儿泪囊炎病因中不常见病原体的重要性。

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.
