For this procedure was used as a system of collection and transportation of microbiological samples, the means of BBL Culture Swab brand.In cases in which there was no bacterial growth was performed chain reaction of polimerasa

Results: 74 eyes were incluyed. The most common bacterial agent was Staphylococcus epidermidis,Fusarium sp show the highest incidence of fungal organisms, the virus usually found was herpes simplex (VHS1), and acanthamoeba sp was the most common parasite
