Mycotic keratitis due to Beauveria alba
Abstract
A 70-year-old white man developed mycotic keratitis following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Extensive therapeutic surgery was necessary to control the infection. Beauveria alba, a saprophytic fungus, was cultured and demonstrated in the corneal button by histopathologic examination.
