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.Entities:
