Combined Topical Fluconazole and Corticosteroid Treatment for Experimental<i>Candida albicans</i>Keratomycosis

Abstract

Fluconazole plus adjunct high-dose prednisolone treatment was most effective when administered 9 days after infection. The delayed application of corticosteroids after treatment with antimycotic drugs in cases of fungal keratitis is therefore not contraindicated and may be beneficial in patients.
