Abstract

Mycotic keratitis caused by Arthrobotrys oligospora is reported in a 62-year-old Indian male patient. The diagnosis was made by direct microscopic examination, isolation of large quantities of the fungus on multiple media and the response of the lesion to an antifungal compound. This is believed to be the first documented case of keratitis due to an Arthrobotrys species.
