Abstract
Mycosis is the term used to describe disease caused by the growth
of a saprophytic or parasitic fungus, either on the surface of or within the
host organism.
Fungal infection of the cornea continue to be an important cause of
ocular morbidity, especially in tropical areas since the introduction of
topical administration of steroids and antibiotics.
The eye has a wide array of defensive mechanisms against
invasive organisms. These are either native non specific as blinking, tears
and intact corneal epithelium or specifically acquired immunological
defense.
