Abstract

We report an aggressive fungal keratitis caused by a putatively novel species ofLophotrichusin a patient with traumatic injury to the cornea from a dog paw. The organism was isolated from the patient's necrotic cornea, which perforated despite coverage with hourly fortified broad-spectrum topical antibiotic therapy. This report represents the first case of human infection caused by this species.
