Abstract:
Background:Infectious keratitis is a disease caused by inflammation, infection, and other
ocular damage to the outer and other deep layers of corneal epithelium. It is a major cause of
monocular blindness and visual disability worldwide regardless of age and gender. Therefore, we
aimed to determine the clinical features and risk factors of infectious keratitis among Mongolians
and to identify the causative microorganism and compared them with the treatment results.
Methods:We collected the data of 149 patients who diagnosed as infectious keratitis at the
Ophthalmology Department of the First State Central Hospital in 2017-2020 and using a case series
model of descriptive study. Statistical analysis was calculated using Stata14 software.
Results:The majority of patients in our study were male, with a male-to-female ratio is 2.1:1. The
cause of infectious keratitis were categorized and eye injury-induced keratitis accounted for the
highest percentage of 38.3% (n=57), with the majority being men 73.7% (n=42) (p=0.028). As for the
type of treatment, antibacterial drugs 103 (69.1%) and evisceration 27(45%) predominate.
Conclusion:Our study shows that the majority of infectious keratitis in Mongolia is due to trauma
in male patients. Forty-five percent of all surgeries involve evisceration surgery, which reduces the
client's quality of life.
