Keratomycosis or fungal infections of cornea are common causes of ocular morbidity particularly in developing countries and in tropical climate. Traumatic inoculation is the predominant predisposing factor for this condition. Most of the cases are caused by filamentous fungi. Blastoschizomyces capitatus is one of the emerging fungal agents causing infection in different organ systems particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Barring one case of keratitis and melting of corneal graft there is no report of keratomycosis by B. capitatus. Here we present a case of keratomycosis caused by B. capitatus, which is the first such case reported from India.
角膜真菌病或角膜真菌感染是导致眼部发病的常见原因，在发展中国家和热带气候地区尤为如此。外伤接种是这种情况的主要诱发因素。大多数病例由丝状真菌引起。头裂芽生菌是一种新出现的真菌病原体，可在不同器官系统引起感染，尤其是在免疫功能低下的个体中。除了一例角膜炎和角膜移植片融解病例外，尚无头裂芽生菌引起角膜真菌病的报告。在此，我们报告一例由头裂芽生菌引起的角膜真菌病病例，这是印度报告的首例此类病例。
