Coming soonFungal blepharitis is a specialized infectious inflammatory condition of the eyelid margins and lash follicles caused by pathogenic or opportunistic fungi, most commonly dermatophytes (such as *Trichophyton* species causing tinea blepharociliaris), yeasts like *Candida* and *Malassezia*, or opportunistic molds.
Affecting the ocular surface and periocular integumentary system across diverse populations—particularly individuals who are immunocompromised, have underlying seborrheic dermatitis, or have experienced local trauma or prolonged corticosteroid exposure—it disrupts normal eyelid epithelial defenses.
Defining clinical and pathophysiologic features include persistent erythema, eyelid edema, pruritus, madarosis, and atypical yellow-to-brown crusting or scaling at the base of the cilia that typically fails to respond to conventional antibacterial therapies.
