Description
Summary:This study aims to report an acute dacryocystitis associated with infection. The patient's medical records and laboratory were thoroughly assessed. A thorough literature search was performed in PubMed database. An additional search was made in Google Scholar to complete the collected items. This is the first recorded case of acute dacryocystitis attributed to infection. A limited number of studies has related this pathogen with conjunctivitis. Acute dacryocystitis on rare occasions can also be caused by atypical organisms. Swabs must be obtained and patients must be started on empirical treatment while waiting for the laboratory results.
