Resumo: | Purpose: To present the frequency and type of identified fungi from infectious keratitis. Methods: Retrospective survey of the cases of mycotic keratitis in the period from 1995 to 1998, at the Laboratory of Ocular Microbiology of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Federal University of São Paulo. Description of the fungal isolations, analysis of the causative factors and relation to the number of infectious keratitis in the same period. Results/Conclusion: Mycotic keratitis was diagnosed in 61 (5.48%) of the 1,113 patients who presented ulcer of the cornea of infectious etiology, ranging from 3.4 to 9.25%, per year. Filamentous fungi were identified in 47 cases (77.04%) and yeasts in 14 (22.95%). Fusarium was the most frequent genus (50.82%), followed by Candida (22.95%) and Aspergillus (8.19%). Phaeosiaria sp, Phoma sp, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Exserohilum rostratum, that are rare etiological fungal agents of keratitis, were also isolated. |

Métodos: Levantamento retrospectivo dos casos de ceratites micóticas, no Laboratório de Microbiologia Ocular do Departamento de Oftalmologia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) no período entre 1995 a 1998. Descrição dos isolamentos de fungos, análise dos fatores desencadeantes e relação com o número de ceratites infecciosas no mesmo período. Resultados/Conclusão: Ceratites micóticas foram diagnos-ticadas em 61 (5,48%) dos 1113 pacientes que apresentaram úlcera de córnea de etiologia infecciosa, com variação de 3,46-9,25%, ao ano. Fungos filamentosos foram identificados em 47 casos (77,04%) e leveduras em 14 (22,95%). Fusarium foi o gênero mais freqüente (50,82%), seguido de Candida (22,95%) e Aspergillus (8,19%). Foram também isolados fungos raros como agentes etiológicos de ceratites como: Phaeosiaria sp; Phoma sp; Fonsecaea pedrosoi e Exserohilum rostratum.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM) Departmento de OftalmologiaUNIFESP-EPM Departmento de OftalmologiaUNIFESP-EPM Departmento de Microbiologia, Imunologia e ParasitologiaUNIFESP, EPM, Departmento de OftalmologiaUNIFESP, EPM Departmento de OftalmologiaUNIFESP, EPM Departmento de Microbiologia, Imunologia e ParasitologiaSciELOConselho Brasileiro de OftalmologiaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Andrade, Alfredo José Muniz de [UNIFESP]Vieira, Luís Antônio [UNIFESP]Hofling-Lima, Ana Luisa [UNIFESP]Yu, Maria Cecília Zorat [UNIFESP]Gompertz, Olga Fischman [UNIFESP]Freitas, Denise de [UNIFESP]Souza, Luciene Barbosa de [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:24:59Z2015-06-14T13:24:59Z2000-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion59-63application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-27492000000100012Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia.
