Abstract
AbstractIsolation of Fusarium oxysporum from Corneal Abcess: A Case Report Fungal infections of the cornea can be caused by yeast (Candida spp.) and filamentous fungi (molds); including Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., and Alternaria spp. Fusarium keratitis may cause progressive corneal damage and endophthalmitis with a result in loss of the eye and vision. Increased occurrence of fungal keratitis is due to the frequent use of topical corticosteroids and antibiotics, corneal diseases, ocular surface diseases, contact lens wearer, minör trauma, the patients with immunocompromised and diabetes mellitus. In this paper, it was aimed to report a case of Fusarium oxysporum keratitis with a diagnosis of bilateral ectropion and trichiasis. Fusarium keratitis is precious with being reported second time in our province, located in subtropical climate zone, Mersin where mostly agriculture and animal husbandry farmers live.

Abstract
Türkçe Özet: Korneanın fungal enfeksiyonları mayalar (Candida spp.) ile Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp. ve Alternaria spp.\'yi içeren filamentoz mantarlar tarafından meydana gelebilir. Fusarium keratiti, progresif korneal hasar, tek taraflı görme kaybı ve gözün kaybıyla sonuçlanabilmekte, tanının gecikmesi nedeniyle ağır seyretmekte ve endoftalmiye kadar ilerleyebilmektedir. Minör travma, uygunsuz antibiyotik ve steroid kullanımı, kontakt lens kullanımı, kornea yüzey hastalıkları, geçirilmiş göz cerrahisi, oküler yüzey hastalıkları, immün yetersizlik ve diabetes mellitus gibi faktörlere bağlı olarak görülme sıklığı artmaktadır. Bu yazıda bilateral ektropion ve trikiazis tanısıyla takip edilen bir Fusarium oxysporum keratiti olgusunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Subtropikal iklim kuşağında yer alan, tarım ve hayvancılıkla uğraşan çiftçilerin yoğun olarak bulunduğu Mersin ilimizden bildirilen ikinci Fusarium keratiti olgusu olması bakımından değerlidir.
