[Therapy and prognosis of bacterial keratitis].

Abstract

This review discusses the current therapy for bacterial keratitis, especially that using quinolones of the fourth generation. In addition, the importance of additive steroids is discussed. Steroids should be administered at a low dose and tapered off slowly, whereas antibiotics should be applied at a high dosage and discontinued abruptly.
