A 70 year old female patient presented with complaints of pain, watering and swelling in the right eye. She gave a history of fall, as she was walking in the paddy field of her farm. Ophthalmological and Microbiological investigation revealed a fungal keratitis with an unusual fungus Macrophomina phaseolina which is primarily a plant pathogen, with a potential to cause human infections especially in immuno-compromised patients. The patient responded well to the antifungal treatment with Oral Voriconazole with absence of recurrence and dissemination.
一名70岁女性患者因右眼疼痛、流泪和肿胀前来就诊。她有跌倒史,当时她正在自家农场的稻田里行走。眼科和微生物学检查发现了由一种不常见的真菌——菜豆壳球孢菌引起的真菌性角膜炎,这种真菌主要是一种植物病原体,有可能引起人类感染,尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。该患者对口服伏立康唑抗真菌治疗反应良好,未出现复发和扩散情况。
