Ulcer Treatment

The Mycotic Ulcer Treatment Trial (MUTT) was a randomized, active comparator–controlled, double-masked, clinical trial carried out in South India to determine whether topical treatment with natamycin gave better clinical and microbiological outcomes than voriconazole in patients with smear-positive filamentous fungal keratitis and visual acuity of 20/40 to 20/400. Treatments were applied topically every hour while awake until reepithelialization, then 4 times daily for at least 3 weeks. The study showed that natamycin treatment was associated with significantly better clinical and microbiological outcomes than voriconazole treatment for smear-positive filamentous fungal keratitis, with much of the difference attributed to improved results in Fusarium cases.
