Corneal inflammation is one of the most common ocular diseases in both humans and animals and can lead to blindness or even cause lost of the eye itself (Whi t ley and Gilger 1999; Ol livier 2003)
Since rapidly developing and eye-threating infections in dogs exist, the techniques such as polymerase chain reaction may be the future help in prompt assesment of dangerous ocular pathogens in the cases of profound corneal infections
Non-ulcerative keratitis in dogs is usually caused by mechanical irritation or by immune-mediated process
Summary
Corneal inflammation is one of the most common ocular diseases in both humans and animals and can lead to blindness or even cause lost of the eye itself (Whi t ley and Gilger 1999; Ol livier 2003). It emphasizes different aetiology of development of corneal infection and distinct number of pathogens employed (monoinfections in people versus often mixed infections in dogs). Since rapidly developing and eye-threating infections in dogs exist, the techniques such as polymerase chain reaction may be the future help in prompt assesment of dangerous ocular pathogens in the cases of profound corneal infections. Characterisation of infectious agents Bacteria and fungi cause various ocular diseases in dogs, including keratitis.
