Abstract：
PURPOSE:To report two patients with severe fungal corneal ulcers who were treated successfully with topical amphotericin B ointment. METHODS:Two eyes of two patients developed corneal ulcers and hypopyon after corneal foreign body removal. Aspergillus fumigatus and Fusarium solani were isolated in Patients 1 and 2, respectively. By antifungal susceptibility testing, amphotericin B was shown to have the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration. RESULT:Topical administration of amphotericin B ointment resulted in dramatic improvement in fungal corneal ulcers. CONCLUSIONS:Antifungal susceptibility tests may aid with selection of antifungal agents. Amphotericin B ointment is one of the promising therapies for keratomycosis caused by antimycotic-resistant fungi.
