摘      要：Dear Editor, We read with interest the article by Gao et al on fungal endophthalmitis associated with fungal keratitis in 27 eyes of 27 patients. They have reported[1] that multiple surgeries including penetrating keratoplasty （PKP）, pars plana vitrectomy （PPV）, intracameral or intravitreal antifungals, cataract extraction and evisceration resulted in a final visual acuity better than counting fingers in 55.6% eyes. Most common causative fungal pathogens in their study were Fusarium （44%）, Aspergillus （22%）, and Alternaria （7%）.
