Distribution, prevalence, and causative agents of fungal keratitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis (1990 to 2020)

2021-04-19

Abstract excerpt

Fungal keratitis is a sight-threatening infection with global distribution. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we collected all the articles with data on the prevalence of fungal keratitis among various patient groups from January 1, 1990 to May 27, 2020. The 169 eligible articles were divided into 6 groups. The pooled prevalence was variable with values ranging from 0.05% among post-keratoplasty patients...
