A study on fungal etiological agents in suppurative keratitis

Fungal keratitis is a major ophthalmic problem. In view of the importance in timely diagnosis and treatment of keratitis which would otherwise lead to serious complications like loss of vision, hypopyon formation, endopthalamitis, etc., this study was intended to bring into light the fungal etiological agents in suppurative keratitis. The specimen was collected from suppurative keratitis cases irrespective of prior antibiotic treatment during the period of one year from March 2012 to February 2013.
