Pityrosporum species associated with dacryoliths: in obstructive dacryocystitis
Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
Two dacryoliths removed from the obstructed and enlarged lacrimal sac of a 54 year-old female patient during dacryocystorhinostomy were found to contain the filamentous forms consistent with Pityrosporum oribulare. It does not seem that this fungus has been observed before in a dacryolith or in dacryocystitis.
