Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common secondary glaucoma is in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, along with its clinical features and underlying mechanisms.
- An analysis of 305 eyes from 155 patients revealed that 22% developed secondary glaucoma, particularly in those with chronic recurrent VKH, with angle-closure being a major factor.
- The findings indicated that patients with glaucoma had worse visual acuity compared to those without, highlighting the serious impact of glaucoma in VKH-related eye conditions.
Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) is the main cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly, hence the importance to establish the prevalence of nasopharyngeal colonization by different Sp serotypes in adults.
Methods: from December 2009 to June 2010, nasopharyngeal cultures were taken from adults living in rural communities in Mexico for the isolation and serotyping of Sp by the Quellung reaction. Penicillin and ceftriaxone susceptibility tests were performed by the microdilution method.
