Query: Distribution, prevalence, and causative agents of fungal keratitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis (1990 to 2020) Fungal keratitis is a sight-threatening infection with global distribution. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we collected all the articles with data on the prevalence of fungal keratitis among various patient groups from January 1, 1990 to May 27, 2020. The 169 eligible articles were divided into 6 groups. The pooled prevalence was variable with values ranging from 0.05% among post-keratoplasty patients to 43.01% among patients with a clinical suspicion of fungal keratitis. Except for post-keratoplasty cases (yeast: 51.80%), in all patient groups moulds were more common than yeasts. Although more than 50 distinct species of fungi have been found to cause fungal keratitis, Fusarium species followed by Aspergillus species were the most common causes of the disease. In general, 9.29% (95% CI 6.52, 12.38) of fungal keratitis cases were mixed with bacterial agents.
