[Scedosporium apiospermum-a rare pathogen of keratomycosis].

This article presents the case of a 44-year-old contact lens wearer who presented with acute keratitis resistant to antibacterial treatment in the right eye. The anterior segment of the eye showed circular conjunctival hyperemia, a corneal white cell infiltrate with radiating margins and a central corneal erosion. Microbiological investigation of a corneal scraping revealed growth of Scedosporium apiospermum. Intensive antimycotic treatment and several corneal collagen crosslinking procedures were performed; however, because of rapidly evolving necrotizing ulcerative keratitis, a keratoplasty à chaud was carried out.
