title: [Keratomycoses].
abstract: Mycotic inflammations of the anterior segment of the eye are relatively rare in our geographical zone. The clinical picture, isolation of the pathogenic organism and possible treatment are discussed with reference to three patients with keratomycosis treated at the First Ophthalmological Clinic of the First Medical Faculty, Charles University Prague. Microscopic examination of the affected tissue revealed Fusarium 1x and Candida alb. also on cultivation. Natamycin 5.0% suspension cured Fusarium keratitis and improved the symptoms of Candida infection. In two patients perforating keratoplasty was necessary in one instance because of imminent perforation of a posterior mycotic corneal abscess and in the second patient because of subsequent bacterial reinfection.
