Effect of fourth-generation fluoroquinolones on the healing rate of corneal erosions in an animal model.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We analyzed laboratory results from corneal ulcers seen from 1976 to 1999 at the Francis I. Proctor Foundation, a referral center in San Francisco, to determine the relative frequencies of pathogens and to analyze for trends in frequencies of the most common pathogens. The results were compared with a previou...
