[Retrospective study of suppurative keratitis in 1054 patients].

Abstract

Fungal keratitis is the most common type in severe suppurative corneal ulcers and its incidence shows an increasing tendency progressively. As a rapid, simple and effective diagnostic method of fungal keratitis, the application of direct microscopic examination of KOH wet mounts should be used more extensively. A rapid and effective detecting technique of bacterial keratitis is required urgently.
