    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Corneal ulcers are a significant cause of visual impairment.
    • Fungal keratitis is a serious ocular infection, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.
    • Understanding the etiological agents is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mycoflora associated with corneal ulcers.
    • To identify the prevalence of different fungal species causing keratitis.
    • To correlate fungal incidence with patient-related factors.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 150 corneal ulcer cases.
    • Microbiological investigation for fungal isolation and identification.
    • Correlation of fungal species with patient demographics (age, sex) and occupation.

    Main Results:

    • 68 cases (45%) showed fungal presence.
    • Aspergillus species were the most prevalent (36 cases).
    • Other identified fungi included Penicillium, Fusarium, Curvularia, Candida albicans, Mucor, and others.

    Conclusions:

    • Fungi are a major cause of corneal ulcers in the studied population.
    • Aspergillus is the predominant fungal pathogen.
    • Demographic and occupational factors may influence the risk of mycotic keratitis.
