Abstract

The article examines the effectiveness of using voriconazole for treating fungal keratitis. Topics discussed include observations made during the Mycotic Ulcer Treatment trial I, better response of Fusarium to natamycin compared with voriconazole, and the susceptibility patterns of different bacteria. The likelihood of perforation in patients who were randomly assigned to voriconazole and their need for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty are mentioned.
