Fungal Keratitis Due to : A Case Report and Global Review of Keratitis.

species are among the most commonly isolated causes of fungal keratitis. Most species of the genus belong to species complex (FSSC). , a member of the FSSC complex, is a well-established plant and human pathogen. However, reports of fungal keratitis due to Fusarium lichenicola have not been frequently reported. To the best of our knowledge, only twelve cases of keratitis have been reported in the past fifty years. Clinical cases of may have most likely been misidentified because of the lack of clinical and microbiological suspicion, as well as inadequate diagnostic facilities in many tropical countries where the burden of the disease may be the highest. We report a case of fungal keratitis caused by and present a global review of the literature of all cases of fungal keratitis caused by this potentially blinding fungus.
