Geotrichum Candidum as a Cause of Conjunctival Mycoses
Abstract
The clinical picture of conjunctival geotrichosis can assume the form of the usual inflammatory reaction, sometimes including the appearance of gray deposits. Geotrichum candidum is a fungus which is found most frequently in the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Its simultaneous appearance in the mucous membranes of the urinal tract and of the conjunctavae may reflect organotropism. The center of infection by the fungus may be a potential source of extensive infections and of the formation of mycosis through the spreading of the spores, and this does not necessarily require an injury.
