An aerial survey for fungal spores in Amritsar has been carried out by petri plate exposure method for a period of one year. A total of 23 fungi appeared in the plates. Out of these Aspergillus was the commonest fungus representing 21.69% of the total colony count followed by Alternaria, Curvularia and Fusarium. There was seasonal variation in the prevalence of fungal spores. A comparison of the prevalence of fungi in diseased and healthy eyes and the atmosphere of Amritsar appears to support the view that these fungi are transient residents in the eyes depending on their availability in the atmosphere.
通过培养皿暴露法对阿姆利则的真菌孢子进行了为期一年的空中调查。培养皿中总共出现了23种真菌。其中，曲霉菌是最常见的真菌，占总菌落数的21.69%，其次是链格孢属、弯孢属和镰孢属。真菌孢子的流行存在季节性变化。对患病和健康眼睛中的真菌流行情况以及阿姆利则大气中的真菌流行情况进行比较，似乎支持了这样一种观点，即这些真菌是眼睛中的短暂寄居者，其存在取决于大气中的可获得性。
