Pharmacologic therapy of mycotic keratitis
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2019Mycotic keratitis continues to be an important cause of corneal blindness, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. The prognosis is poor compared with many other forms of keratitis because of the lack of effective antifungal drugs. The currently available antifungal drugs suffer from multiple drawbacks such as poor ocular penetration ...

PCR for the molecular diagnosis of mycotic keratitis
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2012Mycotic keratitis, an infection of the cornea caused by fungi, is a medical emergency, with patients presenting with considerable pain and distress. For effective management of the condition, a specific diagnosis must be made rapidly to permit early initiation of antifungal therapy.

Mycotic keratitis by Cladorrhinum
Medical Mycology, 1979Cladorrhinum spp (strain CBS 604.75) was isolated, for the first time, from a case of keratomycosis. The patient, a 12 year-old boy, showed a soft white yellowish mycotic excrescence with clear borders which had followed the introduction of a small piece of straw into the cornea. The direct examination of corneal scrapings revealed dark-brown filaments.

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1959
The modern concept of infectious diseases is generally considered to date from the experiments in which Pasteur, in the years preceding 1860, exploded the theory of spontaneous generation. Without in the least detracting from these epoch-making discoveries demonstrating the role of bacteria in the production of disease, it should be pointed out that ...

Mycotic keratitis by Fusarium moniliforme
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 1995ABSTRACT We report on a case of keratitis with hypopion by Fusarium monilinforme, in a patient with palpebral retraction and light exophthalmos caused by hyperthyroidism. We emphasize the importance of the microscopic examination of bioptic material and the identification of fungal species: the first permits an early diagnosis, the second the adoption ...

Mycoses, 1991
Summary. Patients with corneal ulcera, residing mainly in rural areas of Paraguay, were controlled for mycotic eye infections. In 26 cases out of 45 (58%) presence of filamentous fungi was observed (Fusarium sp. (11), Aspergillus sp. (5), Cladosporium sp. (3), Alternaria sp. (2), Acremonium sp. (1), Curvularia sp. (1), culture negative (3)).

Mycotic keratitis — an underestimated mycosis
Medical Mycology, 1994Mycotic keratitis, an important ophthalmologic problem, especially in outdoor workers in the tropics, is frequently caused by filamentous fungi such as species of Fusarium, Aspergillus and Curvularia, and by yeast-like fungi such as Candida. A rapid, presumptive diagnosis can be made by recognition of certain typical clinical features and by direct ...

Mycotic keratitis byDrechslera spicifera
Medical Mycology, 1975The Drechslera state of Cochiobolus spicifer, Nelson 1964, was isolated from a case of keratomycosis. The patient, a 19 year old man, showed a large corneal ulcer with hypopyon associated with the introduction of dust. The direct examination of several scrapings revealed dark-brown hyphae.
