Abstract
In Viet-Nam the incidence of keratomycoses is increasing up to recent years. The role of subtropical climate and environmental conditions is pointed out. Among the causative fungi Aspergillus, Cephalosporium and fungi imperfecti are the most frequent, as opportunistic agents. Some clinical aspects are described, and the peculiar severity in evolution stressed on. In the absence of specific antifungal drugs, another method of management, using potassium iodide associated with Griseofulvin and auto-serum is proposed, while keratoplasty with full-thickness corneal graft during the active process may be indicated. These procedures permitted to save a notable number of eyes from total blindness or enucleation.
