Abstract

Bacteremia can be defined as the presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream. Bacteremia has been documented with surgical (dental and gastrointestinal surgeries) or nonsurgical (endoscopy and endotracheal intubation) interventions. This chapter would examine the bacteremia in common lacrimal surgeries and its implications in surgical preparations and management.
