[Standard candida mycosis in the rabbit eye (author's transl)].
Whole-body X-irradiation administered to rabbits prior to intracorneal inoculation with Candida albicans is required to produce a verifiable mycotic keratitis. Damage to the corneal tissue, which in rabbits is generally resistant to Candida, can thus be avoided. The mycosis usually lasts for a period of 12 to 14 days. Twenty-four animals (48 eyes) were infected. The fungi were recultivated in 21 animals (24 eyes). All attempts were successful.
