Microbial decontamination of human donor eyes with povidone-iodine: penetration, toxicity, and effectiveness.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Povidone-iodine (PVP -I) is applied for microbial decontamination of human eyes donated for transplantation. Concentrations and immersion times vary greatly. The effectiveness and toxicity of PVP-I were assessed for different decontamination protocols. METHODS Human donor eyes and corneas were immersed in different concentrations (5-100 mg/ml) of PVP-I for different times (2-3...
متن کاملEffect of surgical site skin preparation with povidone-iodine 7.5% and 10% with chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine 10% on microbial count
Background and Aim: Preparing the skin for surgery with antiseptics is a standard measure to reduce surgical site infection. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of skin preparation at the surgical site with povidone-iodine 7.5% and povidone-iodine 10% antiseptics with chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine 10% on the microbial count. Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 80 patient...
متن کاملAcute toxicity of povidone-iodine (Betadine) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L. 1758)
Organisms in aquatic environments are exposed to a number of pollutants such as pharmaceutical residues. As such, the aim of the present study is to achieve the Lethal Concentration (LC50) of Povidone-iodine (Betadine) for Cyprinus carpio. To do so, the study employs samples, weighing 4±1 [mean±SD] gr, and carries out an experiment in static condition. Based on OECD instructions, after a period...
متن کاملFormulation and Clinical Evaluation of Povidone-Iodine Ophthalmic Drop
Ophthalmia neonatorum is generally defined as conjunctivitis occurring within one month of life. The sources of this infection are environmental organisms or the organisms colonized in the birth canal. Untreated infection can cause blindness, especially if the corresponding organisms areNeisseria gonorrhoeae, or Chlamydia trachomatis. Povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution is an effective antib...
متن کاملIn vitro effectiveness of povidone-iodine on Acanthamoeba isolates from human cornea.
Acanthamoeba keratitis is a severe ocular infection secondary to accidental macro- or microscopic trauma of the cornea. Starting in 1985, a dramatic increase of this infection was recorded along with the spread of contact lens use. This protozoal disease is difficult to treat because of the scarcity of efficacious topical and systemic drugs. We evaluated the in vitro effectiveness of povidone-i...
