Abstract

We describe herein a patient with a rare occurrence of mycotic keratitis caused by Fusarium oxysporum. The fungus destroyed the cornea, and a perforating corneal graft had to be performed. The drug of choice in such diagnosed cases is natamycin. A comparison between Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani is discussed.
