Abstract

Fungi are opportunistic organisms that are recognized more frequently as ocular pathogens in rural tropical countries than in developed world.Treatment is difficult and a conjunctival flap or a penetrating keratoplasty combined with antifungal therapy may be required .Whereas PKP is an effective treatment for fungal keratitis that does not respond to antifungal medication ,moreover early surgical intervention before the disease becomes advanced is recommended.
