Corneal phaeohyphomycosis due to Exserohilum rostratum. A case report and brief review.

R Kanungo1, R Srinivasan.   

Abstract

We report a rare case of corneal phaeohyphomycosis due to Exserohilum rostratum following organic trauma. A known cause of cutaneous and subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, this fungus has been very rarely associated with infections of the eye. Being a plant pathogen, along with other saprophytic dematiaceous fungi the possible role in keratomycosis is discussed.
