They have reported[1] that multiple surgeries including penetrating keratoplasty （PKP）, pars plana vitrectomy （PPV）, intracameral or intravitreal antifungals, cataract extraction and evisceration resulted in a final visual acuity better than counting fingers in 55.6% eyes. Most common causative fungal pathogens in their study were Fusarium （44%）, Aspergillus （22%）, and Alternaria （7%）.展开更多
