ABSTRACT

Canaliculitis is the inflammation of one or both canaliculi due to different causes, among them the infectious one, is unusual by bacteria, except in canaliculitis by concretions where Actinomyces israelii is the more isolated microorganism. Two patients with chronic canaliculitis by concretions appear in which coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp negative was isolated.Surgical treatment was carried out (canaliculotomy) in both, as well as antibiothic prophylaxis pre, trans and by oral and local route, according to antibiogram. A satisfactory immediate answer was obtained and the later evolution was favorable.
