Predictors of development and etiology of dacryocystitis in newborn

Abstract

This paper discusses the problems of congenital obstruction of the lacrimal ducts and its accompanying pathology. This problem is a common, although not very severe, pathology, which is complicated by the development of a purulent-inflammatory process of the lacrimal sac. If the child is weakened, general and local immunity is not sufficiently developed, concomitant diseases are observed, and complications arise. Undoubtedly, the influence of the state of protective systems on the course, severity and resolution of pathology is also undoubted. The study of the intestinal microflora, the state of the blood and lacrimal fluid will allow a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. To understand the specific immunopathological mechanism of the disease, it is necessary to study nonspecific defense factors, immunological reactivity, and cytokines. A comprehensive study of the lacrimal fluid in neonatal dacryocystitis may open up new opportunities for timely diagnosis and pathogenetically oriented therapy of this disease.
