title: [Antibioprophylaxis and itinerant ambulatory surgery in the milieu of endemic trachoma].
abstract: Between 1987 to 1992, 3,309 eyes had been operated on during the seventeen missions realized in Morrocco, by the Morroccan Itinerant Ophthalmologist Association. To prevent postoperative infectious endophthalmitis, asepsis was rigorous and local antibiotics prophylaxis were administered preoperatively, during surgery and postoperatively. Ophthalmic solutions (gentamicin, norfloxacin, or ofloxacin) were used. Six (6) eyes in our study developed infectious endophthalmitis (1.8). The fluoroquinolones are a new class of antibacterial agents with considerable potential in the treatment of ophthalmic infections. A systematic antibioprophylaxis with fluoroquinolones, is licit in itinerant surgery.
