Sektoritus

Sektoritus is a type of fungal infection that affects the outer layer of the eye, also known as the conjunctiva. It is caused by a deep invasion of fungal hyphae into the subconjunctival tissue, usually as a result of trauma, injury, or surgery.

The infection is characterized by the formation of granulomatous nodules on the surface of the eye, which can lead to inflammation, scarring, and vision loss. The eye may become painful and sensitive to light, and patients may experience tearing, discharge, and redness.

Sektoritus is a rare condition, and it is more commonly seen in patients with compromised immune systems or those who have undergone eye surgery. The infection may be caused by a variety of fungal species, including Aspergillus, Candida, and Mucorales.

Diagnosis of sektoritus is typically made through a physical examination of the eye, and may be confirmed by diagnostic tests such as corneal scrapings, biopsy, or tissue cultures. Treatment typically involves a combination of antifungal medications, including intravenous and topical agents, as well as topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.

Prognosis for sektoritus can be poor, and prompt treatment is essential to prevent irreversible vision loss. Aggressive medical treatment and supportive care may help to reduce the severity of symptoms and improve outcomes.

Sektoritus is a serious and sight-threatening infection that requires early diagnosis and treatment. If you suspect that you or someone else has sektoritus, seek medical attention immediately.
