Abstract
The lacrimal apparatus consists of the major and minor lacrimal glands and the nasolacrimal drainage system. The minor (accessory) lacrimal glands include the glands of Krause and Wolfring. The mucinous layer of tears is secreted by the conjunctival goblet cells and the oily secretions are produced by the meibomian glands. Infectious dacryoadenitis is caused by primary endogenous infection and rarely by organisms ascending through the ductules. Causes of infectious dacryoadenitis include viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.
