👉 Sporotrichosis, also known as fungal keratitis (FZ), is a condition that affects the cornea of the eye. It occurs when fungus grows on the surface of the cornea and can cause inflammation, resulting in pain, redness, and sometimes vision loss. The term "sporotrichotic" refers to the fact that this type of infection is caused by spores or spores-like structures known as sporotrichidia, which are part of the fungi.
