All-Women Team From IIT Delhi Develops Novel Strategy For Fungal Eye Infections #IndiaNEWS #Lede
India has a huge agrarian population, which is very prone to vegetative trauma while farming. Vegetative trauma to the eye is generally caused by infected vegetable matter such as plant leaves and often leads to fungal infection of the cornea in the eyes or fungal keratitis.
According to the WHO, fungal keratitis is a leading cause of monocular blindness i. e, blindness in one eye, in the developing world. According to a recent study published in the Lancet, the highest annual incidence per 1 lakh people is reported in Southern Asia. India accounts for more than 50% of the fungal keratitis cases out of total microbial keratitis cases.
Currently, available drugs for fungal keratitis are less effective, especially in severe diseases, due to poor drug penetration, poor bioavailability and antifungal efficacy. US FDA-approved Natamycin is employed as a primary line of treatment for fungal keratitis but due to poor ocular penetration, it requires prolonged and frequent dosing, causing discomfort to patients.
To develop a better antifungal strategy for fungal keratitis, an all-women team of IIT Delhi researchers led by Prof Archana Chugh from Kusuma School of Biological Sciences along with her PhD studentp%XHZ[HH[Z]H[ظ%]HY[ܚ[[Xܘ][ۈ]Z]HZ [[[ܛXHXX[HHZY[[ܚX[]XH[^YHYK][XZKHX[HXٝ[H][YHݙ[YKXY[Y[[]YH܈[[Y][^X[[]][ۋH][YYKYYۚY]HY[XXXH[Y[[YX[HX'HYHۛۈ]HHX[]H؜H[X[][H[H[ˈYܙK[ܛHYXXH][^X[]XYHYKHܛYY^Y][Y[[YX8و[HYZY [ZXYKHY[[]ۚY]HY[]][ۈ]H[YY[][^X[[X][X[ٚ[وHYH]Y[K
