“…Due to this, the focus is more directed to bacteriology (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) , and the presence of saprophytic fungi in the conjunctiva is stressed (13)(14)(15)(16) . Some articles focus on fungal keratitis (17,18) . Histopathological studies on fungal keratitis are rare.…”

“…In Brazil there is an absolute predominance of infections by filamentous fungi, with some studies reaching figures above 70% (11,13,14,18) , although there is no consensus about which species are more frequent. Salera et al found 60% of infections by Fusarium and 30% by Aspergillus, both filamentous fungi (17) ; Santos et al also found a predominance of filamentous fungi, but the most common were Penicillium and Cladosporium (16) ; Carvalho et al found that filamentous fungi were relatively more common, with 32% by Fusarium, 17% by Aspergillus and 10% by Penicillium (18) ; Dalfré et al found 44% by Fusarium and 23% by Geotricum (14) . With regard to other countries, in the United States Aspergillus was the most frequently isolated fungus; in Saudi Arabia, the most common were Aspergillus and Trycophytum, both filamentous (22) ; in Japan, Fusarium and Aspergillus (23) ; in India, Fusarium and Aspergillus were also the most frequent (24) ; and the same was found in China, where filamentous fungi were found in 90% of cases (25) .…”

“…Cerca de 26% evoluíram com complicações, número baixo quando comparado a outros estudos, com a maioria dos casos obtendo resolução da infecção com o tratamento clínico baseado nos antifúngicos tópicos e debridamento da lesão (26) . Acreditamos que isso se deve a introdução precoce da terapia antifúngica baseada nos dados epidemiológicos da historia e características clínicas do paciente ao invés do aguardo pelo resultado laboratorial.…”

“…Fungal keratitis is an important cause of microbial keratitis (2) . An increase in its incidence has been reported in recent decades (4)(5)(6) , but the disease is still a challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment (5,7) . Regarding microbial ceratites, fungal ceratites are reported in 16.4% of cases in Parana (Brazil) (8) , 10.3% and 14.0% of cases in Saudi Arabia (5,9) , 8% of cases in San Francisco (California, United States) (10) and 38.06%, 39.8% and 36.79% of cases in India (2,11,12) .…”
