Abstract
The recent study aimed isolation and identification of fungi associated with keratitis in some patients attended to Al-Diwanyia teaching hospital and study of some biological sides of it ,the results of study showed percentage of isolation was (40%) and total number of fungal isolates was (49) included (7)fungal genus in addition to two species of candida sp , take highest rate of isolation(44.89%) was to Aspergillus sp while rate of isolation of Paecilomyces variotii was only (2.04%) . Results of chemical test by Coconut Extract Agar medium showed the rate of aflatoxin production by isolated fungi in this study was (30.61%) and this ability of production was by number of isolates of Aspergills sp only , A.flavus reported highest rate for production (88.8%) ,when detection for ability of fugal isolates on secretion of Protease and lipase enzymes we found all isolates of fungi had ability to secretion of these enzymes with variable according to genus and species of fungi so some of tested fungi had ability to hemolytic of blood with different in diameter of lysis zone and time which necessary for lysis according to genus and species of fungi where percentage for ability of fungi to hemolytic of blood was (73.4%) where A.fumigatus was faster than other fungi by lysis of blood in three day in lysis zone (29)ml ,while yeast did not appear any ability to lysis of blood.
