“…Our results showed MIC of 0.125, 0.5, 0.5, and 4 μg/mL for amphoteracin B, miconazole, voriconazole, and natamycin, respectively. We, therefore concluded that miconazole or amphoteracin B were the favorable first line treatment against the Curvularia responsible for this keratitis, which is supported by other reports 17,44–48 . In any case, determination of the susceptibility of the specific isolate is advised.…”

“…Curvularia keratitis in a human patient was reported for the first time in 1959 and is now found to be a common cause of human keratomycosis. It has been rarely reported in dogs with fungal keratitis and usually in conjunction with other fungal organisms in a mixed infection 17 . Curvularia colonizes soil and vegetation and spreads by air born spores.…”

A 10-year-old, spayed female Bichon Frise was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the University of Florida with a 6-week history of blepharospasm and a nonhealing ulcer of the left eye. Ophthalmic examination revealed a 3-4 mm diameter corneal ulcer with faint edema at the lesion edge, and a raised grayish area on the paraxial cornea near the 2 o'clock position. Cytological testing revealed fungal hyphae and extracellular cocci. Culture of the lesion found heavy growth of Enterococcus faecalis and Curvularia spp. Treatment with a combination of topical antibiotics (polymyxin B, sulfate/trimetoprim, and 10% sulfacetamide sodium), 1% miconazole, autologous serum, and 5% hypertonic saline was instituted. After 8 days of medical therapy, an improvement of clinical signs was noted, and 15 days after initiation of treatment, the ulcer was healed with minimal corneal scarring.

“…Several species of Curvularia, which have a close taxonomic relationship with Drechslera, have been isolated often from keratomycosis (Anderson, Roberts, Gonzalez & Chick 1959, Nityananda, Sivasubramanian & Ajello, 1962Georg, 1964;Wind & Polack, 1970;Jones, Sexton & Rebell, 1969;Polack, Kaufman & Neumark, 1971).

“…The commonest initial cause of corneal ulcers is trauma due to a variety of accidental injuries, such as, vegetable matter, soil, bush, machine tools (4,7,12,29,38,49,61). The cornea gets inflamed after surgical therapy also if not properly cared.…”

Summary: The literature on keratomycosis has been reviewed under the following headings: introduction, historical, fungi associated with corneal ulcers, fungi associated with healthy eyes, epidemiology, clinical aspects and laboratory diagnosis and antifungal agents and chemotherapy. Data is presented in 3 Tables for the fungi isolated from corneal ulcers, healthy eyes and geographical variations in the incidence of fungi in normal eyes. Literature reviewed includes 114 references. Zusammenfassung: Die Literatur über die Keratomykose wurde unter folgenden Gesichtspunkten referiert: Einführung, historische Aspekte, Pilze, die in Hornhautgeschwüren vorkommen, Pilze in gesunden Augen, Epidemiologie, klinische Aspekte und Labordiagnose, Antimykotika und Chemotherapie. Tabellarische Auflistung von Pilzen aus Ulcus corneae, von Pilzen aus gesunden Augen sowie ihre geographische Verteilung. Berücksichtigung von 114 Literaturstellen.
