“…The overall positive culture rate of this study was 70.2%, which is similar to values found in other countries (range, 34.2%-78.3%) (19,20) and in different regions of Brazil (range, 26.3% to 87.2%) (21,22) (Tables 7 and 8). The variability among countries may be due to the most prevalent etiological agents in each country, sampling methodology, and different standardizations of the media used for corneal culture.…”
