description Introduction: Fungal keratitis is a severe, usually ulcerative, corneal suppurativa infection that can lead to blindness or reduced vision. Objectives: To report the incidence and the most common causal agents of fungal keratitis at the National Hospital of Clinics, in the city of Córdoba. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive and comparative study of case records diagnosed with fungal keratitis was carried out at the National Hospital of Clinics in the period from March 2007 to December 2017 inclusive, analyzing age variables, gender and predisposing factors. Percentages and frequencies of recovered microorganisms were determined and statistical analysis was carried out using a dependency test, determining the relationship between the sex of patients and incidence of fungal keratitis. Results: Of the 66 positive cases in 469 total samples, 57.5% were Fusarium sp, followed by Aspergillus sp. The main cause of fungal keratitis was trauma with plant remains. An average of 6 diagnosed cases were determined per year. Conclusions: The predominant genus was Fusarium sp, with an incidence of 14.1% for this infection in a proportion of 2.9:1 of men compared to women.
