Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. 1987 ; 35(5-6): 149-52http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/70418From our clinical trials of different available antifungal drugs for the cases of keratomycosis, we conclude that Econazole 1% ointment is a safe and effective antifungal agent having a wide range of antifungal activity. With rising incidence of mycotic ulcer particularly in rural population where facilities for laboratory diagnosis and drug sensitivity tests for antifungal drugs are lacking Econazole can be useful as a broad spectrum antifungal agent for the cases of keratomycosis and also could be used as a prophylactic in cases of traumatic corneal ulcer as those are particularly at risk.engAmphotericin B --therapeutic useAntifungal Agents --therapeutic useCorneal Ulcer --drug therapyEconazole --therapeutic useHumansMycoses --drug therapyNystatin --therapeutic useOintmentsComparative Study
