Purpose:To report 3 cases of keratomycosis that was quickly diagnosed by smear test using Diff-Quick(R) staining. Cases:The present series comprised a female aged 57 years and 2 males aged 59 and 66 years respectively. All the cases were unilaterally affected. They had been diagnosed with corneal ulcer one to 3 weeks before. They were referred to us after treatment with antifungal agents and corticosteroid proved futile. Results:We performed culture and smear test using Diff-Quick(R) staining. All the 3 eyes showed filamentous fungi in the smears. Topical treatment with pimaricin induced dure within one month. Culture led to detection of Fusarium sp. in one eye and gave negative findings in the other 2 eyes. Conclusion:Prompt diagnosis is essential in the treatment of infectious corneal ulcer. Smear test using Diff-Quick(R) staining may be of help in differentiating bacterial from fungal infection.
