Anti-Therapeutic Action: Delayed diagnosis due to prolonged culture times can result in poor visual outcomes

Fungal infection monitoring on corneal epithelium ex vivo model and its collection over polyethersulfone membrane for detecting Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus

This research develops a new, faster way to diagnose fungal eye infections caused by Candida or Aspergillus fungi. Instead of waiting days for traditional culture tests, doctors can now use specially designed membranes to collect fungal material from the eye surface and identify the infection within hours using a simple fluorescent staining technique. This faster diagnosis allows doctors to choose the most effective treatment immediately, potentially improving vision outcomes for patients with fungal eye infections.
