Abstract: Objective    To explore the advantages of corneal confocal microscope in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis. Methods    32 cases of fungal keratitis underwent corneal tissue lesion scraping, fungal culture and corneal confocal microscopy. Results    The detection rate was 94.3% in 32 cases of keratitis by confocal microscopy; hyphae or spores were found by smears, the detection rate of 42.8%; fungal culture found fungal colonies, the detection rate of 54.3%. Conclusion     In diagnosis of fungal keratitis, corneal confocal microscopy is a simple method with direct and clear view in vivo, high repeatability and noninvasion.

Key words: Fungi, Corneal confocal microscopy, Keratitis
