  • Title: Helminthosporium corneal ulcers.
    Author: Krachmer JH, Anderson RL, Binder PS, Waring GO, Rowsey JJ, Meek ES.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1978 May; 85(5 Pt 1):666-70. PubMed ID: 566034.
    Abstract:
    We studied four cases of Helminthosporium corneal ulcers from four different institutions. One case occurred in an immune-deficient infant, another in a patient three months after removal of a foreign body; the third case occurred in a patient with a corneal dystrophy who was wearing soft contact lenses and using topical corticosteroids; and the fourth occurred in a patient with a history of multiple foreign bodies. Antifungal sensitivities were performed in three cases and showed relatively good sensitivity to available antifungal medications; even though all four patients improved, there was poor correlation between in vitro sensitivities and clinical response.
