PEREZ DIAZ, CARLOS et al. COLLECTION INTRASTROMAL CORNEAL AND KERATITIS BY FUSARIUM SPP: REPORT OF TWO CASES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE. rev.fac.med [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.2, pp.88-95. ISSN 0121-5256.
The filamentous fungal eye infections have been increasing in incidence in the last years. Corneal trauma, immunosuppressive therapy and use of contact lenses have increased their incidence, nonetheless a small percentage of patients with no risk factors still present with these mold infections. In this article we report a case of ocular infection by Fusarium spp. in two patients, a 21-year-old and a 30-year-old males. They work with the Military Forces, and were immunocompetent with no risk factors associated to the problem.
