Local treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus conjunctivitis with short-term high-concentrated minocycline ointment.

摘要

Ocular infections of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently surfaced. Local treatment, such as frequent administration of topically administered newquinolones chloramphenicol (CP), arbekacin (ABK), and/or vancomycin (VCM) (or in ointment form), based on clinical severity and drug sensitivity, are reported [1, 2]. However, some cases of MRSA have not improved clinically with these locally applied agents and require the development of a local therapeutic regimen. We describe a case of MRSA conjunctivitis successfully treated locally with monotherapy of a high concentration of minocycline (MINO) ointment.
