Case Report on Argon Laser Treatment for Refractory Alternaria Fungal Keratitis

figshare admin karger published a PDF case report on 2026-05-07 detailing the use of argon laser therapy for a refractory fungal corneal ulcer. The report describes a 55-year-old patient with a 20-day history of foreign body sensation, diagnosed with Alternaria fungal keratitis. Treatment parameters included a 500-um spot for 0.2 seconds at 900 mW power, which resulted in complete healing of the epithelial defect.

Use Cases

• Reviewing clinical parameters for argon laser treatment of fungal keratitis based on the described 500-um spot, 0.2-second duration, and 900 mW power.
• Studying patient outcomes for refractory Alternaria infections based on the report of complete epithelial healing and minimal corneal opacity.
• Analyzing case presentation details for fungal keratitis based on the description of a 55-year-old farmer with a 20-day history of foreign body sensation.

Strengths

• Specific treatment parameters are documented, including a 500-um spot, 0.2-second duration, and 900 mW power.
• The report includes a clear patient outcome: complete healing of the epithelial defect with minimal corneal opacity.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single case report (930.7 KB PDF), representing a limited scope and sample size.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the data is presented as a narrative report.
• The data may reflect a specific clinical bias inherent to a single case study from figshare.
