Study Notes
Blepharitis Overview
- Blepharitis classified as chronic (posterior) and acute (ulcerative).
- Chronic posterior blepharitis often linked to meibomianitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
Chronic Posterior Blepharitis
- Excessive meibomian gland secretion leads to recurrent capping of gland orifices.
- Symptoms include hyperemia, telangiectasis, and turbid meibomian fluid upon exertion.
- Tear film appears oily and foamy due to lipid breakdown.
- Treatments involve:
- Hot compresses with fingertip massage, 5-10 minutes, four times daily.
- Lid scrubs increasing from BID/TID to QD.
- Oral doxycycline (100 mg BID for 4 weeks, then 50-100 mg QD) for moderate to severe cases.
- Topical cyclosporine (0.05%) for inflammation.
Ulcerative Blepharitis
- Known as Acute Marginal Blepharitis, characterized by acute inflammation.
- High association with hordeolum and chalazion.
- Signs include edematous eyelid margin and painful discharge.
- Untreated cases may lead to complications like preseptal cellulitis.
Angular Blepharitis
- Caused by bacteria such as Moraxella lacunata or Staphylococcus aureus.
- Symptoms include irritation, tearing, and crusting.
- Treatment includes erythromycin or bacitracin ointment.
Hordeolum Types
- External Hordeolum: commonly known as stye, caused by Staphylococcus infection; characterized by painful swelling at lash margin.
- Internal Hordeolum: infection of a meibomian gland leading to redness and tenderness.
- Treatments involve warm compresses and antibiotics; oral antibiotics for moderate to severe cases.
Preseptal Cellulitis
- Infection of subcutaneous tissue anterior to the orbital septum, commonly from Staphylococcus or Streptococcus species.
- Signs include unilateral eyelid redness, edema, and tenderness.
- Treatment includes oral antibiotics (like Amoxiclav) and warm compresses; IV antibiotics for unresponsive cases.
Impetigo
- Superficial skin infection predominantly affecting children.
- Signs include golden-yellow crusts and localized lymphadenopathy.
- Treatment focuses on wound care and topical antibiotics.
Erysipelas
- Skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
- Characterized by redness, edema, and the formation of bullae.
- Severe cases may necessitate IV Penicillin G and surgical debridement.
Acute Viral Inflammations
- Herpes Simplex Virus leads to vesicles on the face and eyelids, often with pain and itching.
- Treatments include antiviral medications (e.g., Acyclovir).
- Molluscum Contagiosum: a poxvirus causing dome-shaped papules; may require cryotherapy or excisional biopsy for treatment.
Common Infestations
- Pediculosis: lice infestation causing intense itching; treated through mechanical removal and antibiotic ointments.
Key Takeaways
- Monitor for recurrences in conditions like hordeolum.
- Consider underlying conditions like rosacea or dry eye in persistent cases.
- In severe or resistant cases, both topical and oral treatments may be necessary.
