<i>In Vitro</i> Activity of Chlorhexidine Compared with Seven Antifungal Agents against 98 <i>Fusarium</i> Isolates Recovered from Fungal Keratitis Patients

Abstract

Fungal keratitis is a common but severe eye infection in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In regions with a temperate climate, the frequency of infection is rising in patients with contact lenses and following trauma. Early and adequate therapy is important to prevent disease progression and loss of vision. The management of Fusarium keratitis is complex, and the optimal treatment is not well defined.
