Keratomycosis in Wisconsin.
Candida albicans was the most common fungus responsible for mycotic keratitis in our series from a northern climate, as opposed to southern climates where other fungi were more common. Pimaricin was effective in our patients with Candida infections and in one patient with Aspergillus infection that had been unresponsive to previous amphotericin B.
