Keratomycosis due to an Alternaria species

P Azar et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 1975 May.

Abstract

A patient with a contributory history of stromal herpes presented with a severe hypopyon and multiple corneal infiltrates. Culture of corneal scrapings grew out a species of Alternaria, a generally nonpathogenic fungus. The presence of hyphae and budding yeast forms in the keratoplasty specimen gave further confirmation to the diagnosis.
