Abstract:
We aim to highlight the key factors for a good outcome of fungal keratitis. We describe a case of contact lens-related Fusarium keratitis in a young girl. After identification of Fusarium spp under direct microscopic examination and in culture, a prolonged treatment with topic natamycin 5% was started and administered for five months with restitutio ad integrum of the eye. Prompt microbiological diagnosis and a specific and prolonged treatment are essential for correct management of Fusarium keratitis.
