KERATOMYCOSIS CAUSED BY PIGMENTED FUNGI
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Keratomycosis is a major cause of blindness, especially in the developing world. A major proportion of these are caused by fungi, of which pigmented fungi is a good number. Pigmented fungal corneal ulcers may present with surface pigmentation, helping in diagnosis but the presumptive treatment is usually started after evaluation of smears made from scrapping samples. Aggressive treatment with topical anti-fungals help accelerated healing in most of them but few still worsen and need therapeutic keratoplasty. In this study, we evaluated the cases of pigmented Keratomycosis presenting in a tertiary care center for various factors like demographic details, risk factors, clinical characterstics, response to treatment and prognosis.
