 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 70 cases of fungal keratitis analysis of early clinical diagnosis On: Zheng Yang, Qiao Yiping, Zhang Xibo, Liaoguang Rong, Huang Zhaoxia [Abstract] Objective: To analyze 70 cases of fungal keratitis early clinical diagnosis, evaluation of confocal laser microscopy of fungal keratitis in the early clinical diagnosis. Methods: Corneal confocal laser microscopy with clinical suspected fungal 70 cases of keratitis were examined, while the line smear and culture of fungal hyphae fungal colonies investigation, the results were compared to the three groups. Results: In 70 patients, according to medical history, clinical manifestations, diagnosis of fungal keratitis, corneal confocal laser microscopy in which the diagnosis rate was 94% (66/70, corneal scraping in diagnosis was 31% (22/70, check fungal colonies cultured diagnosis rate was 20% (14/70. confocal corneal microscopy Check the detection rate in the corneal tissue smears (2 = 29.615, P lt;0.01) and fungal culture (2 = 39.433, P lt;0.01) examination. Conclusion: The corneal confocal laser microscopy is a noninvasive, fast and effective in vivo method of examination in the early diagnosis of fungal keratitis, treatment and research will play an important role.

RESULTS: Seventy patients were clinically diagnosed of fungal keratitis based on history, clinical signs. The positive rate of confocal laser corneal microscopy was 94% (66/70). The positive rate of corneal tissue smears was 31% (22 / 70). The positive rate of fungus cultivation was 20% (14/70). The positive rate of fungal kerati
