曲霉菌和镰刀菌是引起真菌性角膜炎的最常见真菌。植物物质伤害眼睛,母牛尾部受伤,长期使用局部类固醇是霉菌性角膜炎的一些危险因素。很少有病例报道由双极力菌引起的角膜炎。该属中的人类致病物种是双极,夏威夷双极星,BiParlispapendorfii,和澳大利亚双极星。最常报道的角膜炎是由夏威夷芽孢杆菌引起的,其次是B.spicifera.文献综述显示仅有1例澳大利亚报道的澳大利亚双歧杆菌引起的角膜炎。我们介绍了第一例来自印度的澳大利亚根瘤菌(现为南方弯孢菌)引起的角膜炎。
Aspergillus and Fusarium are the most common fungi causing mycotic keratitis. Injury to the eye with vegetable matter, cow tail injury, long-term use of topical steroids are some of the risk factors for mycotic keratitis. There are few
case reports of keratitis caused by Bipolaris. The human pathogenic species in the genus are Bipolaris spicifera, Bipolaris hawaiiensis, Bipolaris papendorfii, and Bipolaris australiensis. Most commonly reported keratitis is caused by B. hawaiiensis, followed by B. spicifera. Literature review showed only one
case report of keratitis due to B. australiensis reported from Australia. We present a first
case report of keratitis due to B. australiensis (currently Curvularia australienis) from India.
