Colletotrichum Keratitis: An Important Fungal Infection of Nine Human Eyes
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious DiseaseColletotrichum is a relatively uncommon cause of human infection. Previous findings on Colletotrichum keratitis were scarce, and most diagnoses were based on morphological distinction, perhaps underestimating the incidence of Colletotrichum species. This research describes the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of 9 cases of Colletotrichum
