Colletotrichum is a rare fungal pathogen, which is known to cause anthracnose in plants and keratitis or subcutaneous infections in humans. Among the seven Colletotrichum species reported in eye infections, truncatum species is usually virulent with poor visual prognosis even after surgical treatment. Here we report a case of Colletotrichum truncatum keratitis in a young boy with thorn injury that completely resolved with topical natamycin and voriconazole.
炭疽菌是一种罕见的真菌病原体，已知可导致植物炭疽病和人类角膜炎或皮下感染。在报道的七种眼部感染炭疽菌中，截形炭疽菌通常具有较强的毒性，即使经过手术治疗，视力预后也较差。我们在此报告一例因刺伤导致的年轻男孩截形炭疽菌角膜炎，局部应用那他霉素和伏立康唑后完全治愈。
