Abstract

Bacteria, amoebae and fungi usually cause KERATITIS. MYCOTIC KERATITIS is the infection of cornea due to different types of fungi including molds and yeasts. Predisposing factors are Trauma (vegetable matter), surgery & prolong use of steroids. In order to investigate the prevalence of MYCOTIC KERATITIS among the patients suffering from infection of corneaJa study was undertaken over a period of 6 years. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients whom referred to Mycology lab from 1982 to 1995.After admission of each patient in mycology lab, a questioner including personal & clinical information was completed for him/her.Sampling by ophthalmologist & fresh SMEAR and CULTURE were performed for each patient. The results showed that %57 of the patients were male & the others were female ASPERGILUS spp & FUZARIUM solani were isolated from 55% & 7% of the CULTUREs respectively. Trauma due to penetration & plant particles was the common predisposing factor. The disease was a mostly seen in farmer.It is concluded that fungal KERATITIS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of KERATITIS specially if predisposing factor is trauma due to plant matter.
