Article Synopsis
- Keratitis from saprophytic fungi is increasingly common in rural areas, usually resulting from eye injuries caused by wooden objects, with early detection being key to preventing vision loss.
- A middle-aged patient with uncontrolled diabetes experienced worsening fungal keratitis after sustaining a corneal ulcer from a wooden stick, initially treated with natamycin before improving with amphotericin B and systemic antifungals.
- Successful management of fungal keratitis requires prompt treatment and maintaining tight blood sugar control for up to six months to reduce the risk of recurrence.
