A review and statistical analysis of cases of fungal keratitis in Japan reported from 1981 to 1985 revealed the following results. 1. 62 cases of keratomycosis were reported in Japan from 1981 to 1985. This disease has been gradually increasing in Japan. 2. The Fusarium species was the most common cause in these reports. 3. fungal keratitis was seen equally in right and left eyes, and in males and females. However, since this disease was previously reported to be more common in males, this point requires further evaluation.
