Resumen
BUITRAGO TORRADO, Manuel Fernando et al. Overview of Mycotic Queratitis. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2013, vol.45, n.3, pp.55-69. ISSN 0121-0807.
Fungal keratitis is a major cause of visual disability in developed countries. In recent years its incidence has increased in tropical countries, related with risk behaviors such as indiscriminate use of antifungal and corticosteroid ophthalmic in clinical practice. Diagnostic confirmation is needed, not only in cases of fungal keratitis, but also for other infectious eye diseases, to initiate timely and accurate therapy, and avoid the unnecessary use of antimicrobials. The visual prognosis of patients depends on rapid diagnosis and prompt medical treatment
