Bacterial and fungal profile of corneal ulcers--a prospective study.

Corneal ulceration continues to be one of the most important causes of ocular morbidity and blindness worldwide. Between April 1999 and May 2001, 80 patients with corneal ulceration were examined to find the causative microorganisms, the sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates to antibiotics, the predisposing factorsfor ulcerative keratitis and the comparison between culture and gram staining results.

Pulmonary pseudallescheriasis in a patient with healed tuberculosis.

Pulmonary pseudallescheriasis in an immunocompetent patient without a pre-existing cavity or cyst is a rare phenomenon. We report a case of invasive pulmonary pseudallescheriasis in a lobectomised patient treated for tuberculosis. Filamentous fungi with pyriform conidia were seen in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid .

Infective endocarditis due to Salmonella typhi--a case report.
