OFTALMOLOGIA 4 - 2005PURPOSEThe paper presents a study of corneal ulcers at aged persons for the identification of etiologic andaggravates factors that may have a negative influence for the p<strong>ro</strong>gnostic of the diseases.MATERIAL AND METHODWe have performed a ret<strong>ro</strong>spective study using a lot of aged patients with corneal ulcers, hospitalizedin 2002-2003 period. The data were obtained by both clinical examination (anamnesis and ocular examination)and by the laboratory exams (mic<strong>ro</strong>biologic exam).RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONSWe have analyzed by the epidemiological point of view, the distribution of cases with the age, sex,p<strong>ro</strong>venience area, and p<strong>ro</strong>fession. We have demonstrated a predominant repartition of cases in the 7-thdecade (45%) and for the masculine patients (in 60% of cases). The patients f<strong>ro</strong>m rural area represented75% of cases. In relationship with the etiology, the traumatic ulcers represent 25%, mic<strong>ro</strong>bial keratitis 45%associated with local or general aggravating factors. Mic<strong>ro</strong>biological exam has revealed in principal nonpathogenor conditionated pathogen germens in 10 cases (staphylococcus), moderate virulence germens in5 cases (streptococcus) or very virulent germens (escherichia colli and piocianic bacillus) in 2 cases.CONCLUSIONSThe evolution of corneal ulcers at aged people is conditioned by etiologic factors and aggravating factors.The imp<strong>ro</strong>vement of the evolution and of the p<strong>ro</strong>gnostic depends on the most precocious application oflocal and general therapeutic measures.KEY WORDS:• aggravating factor,• mic<strong>ro</strong>bial keratitis.INTRODUCEREUlcerele corneene reprezint` ]i în prezent un important segment al patologiei oculare, atât prin frecven\`,cât ]i prin variatele aspecte etiopatogenice, clinic evolutive sau terapeutice.SCOPUL LUCR|RIIStudiul efectuat î]i p<strong>ro</strong>pune analiza ulcerelor corneene la pacien\ii vârstnici pentru a eviden\ia multitudinea]i intricarea factorilor etiologici implica\i.
