The purpose was to define the clinical peculiarities of bacterial keratitis in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) at visit 1.
Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the results of 62 DM1 patients (62 eyes) with bacterial keratitis and 43 nondiabetic patients (43 eyes) with bacterial keratitis of the control group who were referred for visit 1 (before administering the treatment). Research methods were as follows: visual acuity, tonometry, slit-lamp biomicroscopy of anterior and posterior eye segments, bacteriological studies, fluorescein dye test, anterior eye OCT and non-contact corneal esthesiometry.
Results. Compared to nondiabetic, DM1 patients with bacterial keratitis showed higher degree of inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber of the eye at visit 1 (p 0,05) at visit 1.
Conclusions. There are clinical peculiarities of bacterial keratitis in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus at visit 1.
