Abstract
- From 1986 to 1995, 75 eyes of 75 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of infectious corneal ulcer at Chunbuk university hospital were analyzed on the etiologic agents and clinical findings. Etiologic agents of infectious corneal ulcer were classified as 49 bacterial ulcers(65.3%) and 26 fungal ulcers(34.7%). The most common isolated bacteria was 8 cases of coagulase negative staphylococcus and pseudomonas species was the most common isolated gram negative organism. Candida species was the most commonly isolated fungus. Hypopyon was noted in 30 cases(40%) of infectious corneal ulcers, 14 cases in small ulcer group and 16 cases in large ulcer group. There was no difference between severity and presence of hypopyon of the 75cases (P>0.05. chi-square test).
