Abstract

Abstract Fungal keratitis is an ocular infection that has no standardized treatment. The etiological agents most frequently reported in the literature are Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp., Alternaria spp. and Curvularia spp., related to injuries and Candida albicans related to contact lens wear. Here we present a case of bilateral fungal keratitis of a few days of evolution with insufficient response to antifungal pharmacological treatment and with early application of cross-linking in both eyes as an adjuvant therapy. A review of the current status of cross-linking for the treatment of corneal infections is presented.
