Abstract: Fungal keratitis is the most common infectious eye disease with a very high rate of disability and blindness. Its complex immune response system affects the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease. Therefore, exploring its pathogenesis and the regulatory mechanisms of the bodys immune system has become a frontier and key in the field of ophthalmology research today. The latest research indicates that during the process of human corneal epithelial cells and mouse candida albicans(CA)keratitis, interleukin-36γ/IL-36R plays a protective role by mediating innate immunity and Th17 type acquired immunity. This article reviews the recent research progress on the regulatory mechanisms of the bodys immune protective role after fungal infection of the cornea.

Key words: Fungal keratitis, Corneal infections, Interleukin-36, Immunoregulation
