Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Fungal ulcers are commonly treated empirically; drugs are typically selected without regard to susceptibility data. The nonocular infectious disease literature suggests modern fungal susceptibility methods are clinically relevant, but ocular studies are limited. Our results suggest antifungal therapy might be tailored to individual organisms.
