Since the 1950s, and especially in recent decades, an increase in the number of cases has been observed. In contrast to bacterial and viral keratitis, for which specific topical agents are available, the management of fungal keratitis is complicated by the limited availability of approved topical antifungal agents in most countries, including Russia. Consequently, ophthalmologists are frequently required to use antifungal medications off-label, which is associated with limitations and is often accompanied by insufficient therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, in this context, timely identification of fungal keratitis and rational selection of topical antifungal therapy are critically important.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> To compare the efficacy of different topical antifungal agents in the treatment of fungal keratitis under experimental conditions.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold> An experimental study was conducted in Chinchilla rabbits using a stromal fungal keratitis model induced by <italic>Fusarium solani</italic>. Treatment efficacy was assessed based on a combination of clinical (biomicroscopy), instrumental (optical coherence tomography), and morphological (histological) criteria. Animals were divided into four treatment groups: 1% voriconazole; 0.2% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution; 0.15% amphotericin B; and combination therapy with 1% voriconazole and 0.02% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The most pronounced restoration of physiological stromal architecture, as assessed by optical coherence tomography and histological examination, was observed in group 4. Combination therapy with 1% voriconazole and 0.02% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution was accompanied by an optical coherence tomography pattern closest to physiological, as well as more pronounced restoration of the corneal epithelial layers and reduced stromal infiltration. Monotherapy with amphotericin B or chlorhexidine bigluconate at higher concentrations demonstrated significantly lower efficacy.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Combination therapy with 1% voriconazole and 0.02% chlorhexidine bigluconate in an experimental model of fungal keratitis demonstrated the greatest efficacy in restoring corneal structure and reducing signs of infectious inflammation, which suggests that this regimen is promising for use in clinical practice.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Среди инфекционных поражений роговицы грибковый кератит характеризуется тяжёлым и резистентным течением. В отличие от бактериальных и вирусных кератитов, терапия грибковых инфекций существенно затруднена вследствие полного отсутствия одобренных специализированных местных противогрибковых препаратов в большинстве стран. В связи с этим практикующие офтальмологи вынуждены использовать лекарственные средства вне зарегистрированных показаний (off-label), что нередко сопровождается недостаточной эффективностью терапии. Кроме того, в сложившейся ситуации особо важна своевременная диагностика грибкового кератита, а также обоснованный выбор препарата и режима местной противогрибковой терапии.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования. </bold>Сравнить эффективность местного применения различных противогрибковых препаратов при лечении грибкового кератита в условиях эксперимента.</p> <p><bold>Методы. </bold>Одноцентровое экспериментальное исследование на кроликах породы «шиншилла» с моделью стромального грибкового кератита с инфицированием <italic>Fusarium solani</italic>. Животных распределили на четыре группы в зависимости от лекарственного препарата: в 1-й группе использовали 1% вориконазол; во 2-й — 0,2% раствор хлоргексидина биглюконата; в 3-й — 0,15% амфотерицин В; в 4-й - комбинированную терапию 1% вориконазола и 0,02% хлоргексидина биглюконата. Эффективность лечения оценивали на основании совокупности клинических (биомикроскопия), инструментальных (оптическая когерентная томография) и морфологических (гистология) критериев.</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Более выраженное восстановление физиологической структуры стромы роговицы по данным оптической когерентной томографии и гистологического исследования наблюдали в 4-й группе. Применения амфотерицина В и хлоргексидина биглюконата в повышенной концентрации в режиме монотерапии демонстрировали существенно меньшую эффективность.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Комплексное применение 1% вориконазола и 0,02% хлоргексидина биглюконата в экспериментальной модели грибкового кератита показало наибольшую эффективность в отношении восстановления структуры роговицы и уменьшения признаков инфекционного воспаления, что свидетельствует о перспективах использования данной схемы в клинической практике.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fungal keratitis</kwd><kwd>keratomycosis</kwd><kwd>ophthalmomycosis</kwd><kwd>voriconazole</kwd><kwd>amphotericin B</kwd><kwd>chlorhexidine bigluconate</kwd><kwd>Fusarium solani</kwd><kwd>antifungal agents’ efficacy</kwd><kwd>antifungal therapy</kwd><kwd>OCT</kwd><kwd>antiseptics</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>грибковый кератит</kwd><kwd>кератомикоз</kwd><kwd>офтальмомикоз</kwd><kwd>вориконазол</kwd><kwd>амфотерицин В</kwd><kwd>хлоргексидина биглюконат</kwd><kwd>Fusarium solani</kwd><kwd>эффективность противогрибковых средств</kwd><kwd>противогрибковая терапия</kwd><kwd>ОКТ</kwd><kwd>антисептики</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Flaxman SR, Bourne RRA, Resnikoff S, et al.
