| Summary: |
The term fungal keratitis
refers to invasion of the cornea by yeasts, filamentous
and dimorphic fungi. Fungi are opportunistic in the eye
and cannot penetrate the intact corneal epithelium. They
need a penetrating injury or a previous epithelial
defect to enter the cornea. More than 70 different fungi
have been implicated as causing fungal keratitis. Fungal
keratitis remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
to ophthalmologist. Authors described the difficulties
related to clinical diagnosis establishing, isolating
the etiologic fungal and treating the keratitis
effectively with antifungal agents. Patients who do not
respond to medical treatment with topical and oral
antifungal medications usually require surgical
intervention, including corneal transplantation. |
