Abstract:
Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a dematiaceous fungus which rarely causes keratitis and is mostly resistant to the commonly used antifungal drugs. Here, we report three cases of keratitis caused by L.theobromae from Assam. All the cases were successfully treated with 1% voriconazole and surgical debridement. To the best of our knowledge and literature search, this is the first case series of keratitis caused by L.theobromae reported from eastern India.
