Analysis of differentially expressed genes in bacterial and fungal keratitis
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Purpose: This study was aimed at identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in bacterial and fungal keratitis. The candidate genes can be selected and quantified to distinguish between causative agents of infectious keratitis to improve ...

Amniotic membrane transplantation for infectious keratitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Infectious keratitis (IK) is the 5th leading cause of blindness globally. Broad-spectrum topical antimicrobial treatment is the current mainstay of treatment for IK, though adjuvant treatment or surgeries are often required in refractory cases of IK ...

Outcomes of amoebic, fungal, and bacterial keratitis: A retrospective cohort study.
PLoS ONE, 2022 BackgroundAcanthamoeba keratitis is challenging to treat and thought to result in poor outcomes, but very few comparative studies exist to assess whether ulcers caused by Acanthamoeba are worse than those caused by bacteria or fungus.MethodsIn a ...

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
