In Brief:
The incidence of endophthalmitis associated with severe fungal keratitis was 9.4%. Infection was successfully controlled in 81.1% of eyes by penetrating keratoplasty, vitrectomy, or intravitreal antifungal therapy. Identified risk factors for endophthalmitis included topical steroid use, previous corneal laceration suturing, large corneal ulcer size, hypopyon, and aphakia.
