Polymerase Chain Reaction-guided Diagnosis of Infective Keratitis – A Hospital based Study

29 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to microbial culture and smear for detection and identification of bacterial and fungal pathogens in suspected microbial keratitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Corneal scrapings from 88 patients with suspected infectious keratitis were subjected to routine bacterial culture and sensitivity, Gram's stain, fungal culture; potassium hydroxide (KOH) wet mount, and PCR....
