High-Yield Explanation
Ans. B. FungalWith filamentary fungi the corneal lesions have a white/gray infiltrate with feathery borders. There might be satellite lesions with hypopyon and conjunctival injection as well as purulent secretions. Ulcers caused by yeast are plaque-like and slightly more defined, similar to bacterial keratitis.
