Ofthalmia Neonatorum And Neonatal Ocular Infections

Abstract

Abstract

Conjunctivitis in first month of life (ophthalmia neonatorum) is the most common infection in neonatal period. Most ocular infections in the neonatal period areacquired during vaginal delivery and reflect common sexually transmitted diseasesin the community. Etiology includes chemical, chlamydial, bacterial and viral factors, respectively. If left untreated, serious ocular and systemic complications mayoccur. Complications can be avoided if appropriate treatment is initiated on time. Inthis review, it is aimed to discuss upto-date information about diagnosis and treatment of ocular infections in neonatal period.

Yaşamın ilk ayında olan konjunktivit (oftalmia neonatorum) neonatal periyotta en sık görülen enfeksiyondur. Neonatal dönemdeki çoğu göz enfeksiyonları vajinal doğum sırasında kazanılır ve toplumda sık görülen cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklarıyansıtır. Sırasıyla etiyoloji kimyasal, klamidyal, bakteriyel ve viral etkenleri içerir.Tedavi edilmediği durumda ciddi oküler ve sistemik komplikasyonlar görülebilir. Uygun tedavi zamanında başlanırsa komplikasyonlar önlenebilir. Bu derlemede yenidoğan dönemi göz enfeksiyonlarının tanı ve tedavisi üzerine güncel bilgilerin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.
