PURPOSE To determine risk factors and clinical signs that may differentiate between bacterial, fungal, and acanthamoeba keratitis among patients presenting with presumed infectious keratitis. DESIGN Hospital-based cross-sectional study. METHODS We examined the medical records of 115 patients with laboratory-proven bacterial keratitis, 115 patients with laboratory-proven fungal keratitis, an...
PURPOSE The goals of the study were the following: 1) to show the epidemiology of microbial keratitis (MK) in the southeast Brazil, 2) to compare the epidemiological differences between fungal (FK) and bacterial keratitis (BK), and 3) to evaluate the frequency which ophthalmologists accurately differentiate bacterial keratitis from fungal keratitis based on clinical diagnosis. METHODS A retro...
PURPOSE To determine the influence of risk factors, climate, and geographical variation on the microbial keratitis in South India. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all clinically diagnosed infective keratitis presenting between September 1999 and August 2002 was performed. A standardised form was filled out for each patient, documenting sociodemographic features and information pertaining ...
BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis is an important cause of corneal blindness all over the world. Although there are several reports on fungal keratitis from developing and developed countries, fungal keratitis in Ethiopia is poorly known. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fungal keratitis and spectrum of fungi implicated in causing the infection. METHODS The present study was...
purpose: to compare the value of conventional laboratory methods and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis. methods: this cross sectional study was conducted at khalili hospital, shiraz, iran. samples were taken from thirty-eight patients with findings suspicious for fungal keratitis. corneal scrapings were used for gram, giemsa and koh stains, culture and pcr ana...
BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis is difficult to treat that can result in corneal blindness requiring penetrating keratoplasty and in fungal endothalmitis. We report a case of fungal keratitis and onychomycosis simultaneously infected by Trichophyton. CASE PRESENTATION A 77-year old male presented with ocular pain, conjunctival injection, and severe loss of vision in his left eye. His best correct...
Fungal Keratitis In article 2202409, Shaozhen Zhao, Zhongwei Niu, Ruibo Yang, and co-workers report a peptide conjugate nano-assembly (PCNA) that permeates corneal stroma kills the hyphae without irritating ocular cornea. PCNA with nano-assembled structure assembly–disassembly behavior could serve as foundation of new therapy for fungal keratitis.
We aim to highlight the key factors for a good outcome of fungal keratitis. We describe a case of contact lens-related Fusarium keratitis in a young girl. After identification of Fusarium spp under direct microscopic examination and in culture, a prolonged treatment with topic natamycin 5% was started and administered for five months with restitutio ad integrum of the eye. Prompt microbiologica...
ing improved outcomes. The result of longer healing times in fungal ulcers may be influenced by this. Re-epithelialization is a difficult endpoint tomeasure, particularly in fungal keratitis, so this result should be interpreted with some caution. Other factors associated with fungal and bacterial keratitis cases, such as geographic location of the patients, could act as confounders in this stu...
Fungal keratitis is one of the leading cause of ocular morbidity. Fungal keratitis possesses a clinical challenge due to its slow pathologic process, overlapping features, diagnostic difficulty, and potential complications. Its increasing trend can be attributed to the use of contact lens, non-judiciary corticosteroid, and vegetative trauma. Early diagnosis and treatment is the cornerstone for ...
