Studies in the diagnosis and pathophysiology of severe microbial keratitis

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Microbial keratitis (MK) is a major cause of blindness worldwide. Few studies have assessed the HRT3 in vivo confocal microscope (IVCM) in the diagnosis or management of MK. This PhD aimed to investigate these questions and was based in a high incidence setting for MK: Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India. Methods: A prospective observational study of 252 severe MK patients was conducted with follow-up...
