Fungal Keratitis Associated with Viral Keratitis
Chinese Medical Journal, 2015 Microbial keratitis caused by more than one microorganism is rare. It may occur as a coinfection or as a secondary infection superimposed with an existent microorganism.[1] Both infectious and immune mechanisms are implicated in microbial keratitis. Herein, we report an unusual clinical case of viral and fungal mixed infection. Written informed consent
