Abstract. Purpose:To review infectious keratitis in regarding causative microorganisms and patient background. Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 99 eyes of 99 patients seen during 6 years through 2006 at Kurume University Hospital. Cases were excluded due to herpetic virus. The series comprised 48 males and 51 females. The age ranged from zero to 93 years,average 56.2±23.5 years. Causative microorganisms were identified by microscopy or culture. They were evaluated after classification into 4 categories. Results:Causative organisms were identified in 62 cases. They comprised fungi 31%,gram-negative bacilli 19%,gram-positive cocci 18% and others 32%. Incidence of fungus keratitis was higher than that by nationwide survey of infectious keratitis in 2006. Conclusion:Incidence of fungus keratitis in the present survey was higher than the national average probably because our hospital is a tertiary one located in rural area.
