Regarding diagnosis, it is noteworthy that can be established from the clinical point of view. “Often there is evidence of infection, such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) of bacterial type for which no treatment was given, and this is the fact that the patient has low immunity, undernourished and/or spread with a very aggressive germ.

Consequently, the turns in blepharitis conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyelid) or even in orbital cellulitis that spreads to the entire circulation and may give way to the development of cavernous sinus thrombosis,” says Dr. Groman Share.

Although the symptoms of the disease we are dealing are very obvious, there are occasions when the specialist calls the following tests: sinus radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan of the head and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In turn, to diagnose cavernous sinus thrombosis and to identify the bacteria causing the infection, the doctor takes samples of blood, mucus or pus in throat and nose, and sent to laboratory for culture.

“I immediately should be given high doses of antibiotics, eg cephalosporins third or fourth generation, or ciprofloxacin. If the lesions after 24 hours of treatment, the breast may be drained surgically. Because this situation is delicate, must be handled in conjunction with the neurologist, “says ophthalmologist.

Either way, it is essential that all concerned infectious process promptly with effective medicines, especially when it occurs in the eye, since it’s common to downplay conjunctivitis, often due to the action of microorganisms.

In this respect, points out Dr. Groman Share “eye level we have excellent medicines that treat eye diseases in a few days and even aggressive germs can be handled easily and efficiently.”

The usual problem is the apathy and lack of information, as it passes the time and only go to the doctor when the problem is very advanced. And we also consider that not always goes to the right specialist.
