A new diagnostic unit for corneal ulcers.
A self-contained microbiologic unit has been presented as an expedient to facilitate the diagnosis of corneal ulcers in an office or emergency room. In addition, rationale for its contents are indicated. Although the commonly isolated bacteria and fungi, as well as many of the rare forms, can be cultured on the intact media included in this unit, growth of strict anaerobes may not be supported without additional processing of the media.
