We describe a 76-year-old male farmer with no diabetes mellitus and no history of ocular trauma from soil or plants who developed a corneal infection from a plant pathogen. The organism was identified as Corynespora cassiicola based on both the morphological characteristics and the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal RNA gene. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of topical and systemic voriconazole. This is the first reported case of keratomycosis caused by C. cassiicola.
我们描述了一位 76 岁的男性农民，他没有糖尿病，也没有眼部外伤史，没有接触过土壤或植物，但从植物病原体中感染了角膜。根据形态学特征和核糖体 RNA 基因内转录间隔区序列，该病原体被鉴定为卡西尾孢菌。患者成功地接受了局部和全身伏立康唑联合治疗。这是首例由卡西尾孢菌引起的角膜真菌病报告。
