Fungal keratitis remains a challenging and often elusive diagnosis in geographic regions where it is endemic. Marred by delays in diagnosis, the sequelae of corneal fungal infections, though preventable, can be irreversible. Recent studies and advances in the arena have broadened the approach and treatment to mycotic keratitis. This review will discuss current diagnostic modalities of fungal keratitis and will particularly focus on treatment regimens. It will also explore future therapeutic models and critique the potential benefit of each.
在真菌性角膜炎流行的地区,它仍然是一个具有挑战性且常常难以确诊的疾病。由于诊断延误,角膜真菌感染的后遗症虽然可以预防,但可能是不可逆的。该领域最近的研究和进展拓宽了真菌性角膜炎的诊断方法和治疗手段。这篇综述将讨论真菌性角膜炎的当前诊断方式,并特别关注治疗方案。它还将探索未来的治疗模式,并对每种模式的潜在益处进行评估。
