Optimal Design of Novel Microemulsions-Based Two-Layered Dissolving Microneedles for Delivering Fluconazole in Treatment of Fungal Eye Infection [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2022 The optimal design of novel microneedles (MNs) for the ocular delivery system is necessary and useful for improving the effectiveness of medication. The objective of this study was to design and develop the optimal fluconazole (FLUZ)-microemulsions (MEs)-loaded two-layered dissolving MNs as a potential treatment for fungal eye infection.

The expression and significance of inflammatory cytokines and MMP-9 in the tears of the infected eye and contralateral uninfected eye in patients with fungal keratitis [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Background: We investigated bilateral tear cytokine levels including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with fungal keratitis(FK). Meanwhile, we evaluated the relationship between the changes of tear cytokines with corneal perception and pain in infected ...

Fungal, Mycobacterial, and Nocardia infections and the eye: an update [PDF]
Eye, 2011 Although relatively uncommon, fungi, atypical Mycobacteria, and Nocardia have been isolated from a variety of infections of eye including keratitis, scleritis, canaliculitis, dacryocystitis, endophthalmitis and orbital cellulites. The organisms typically cause a slowly progressive disease.
