  • Title: [Scedosporium apiospermum-a rare pathogen of keratomycosis].
    Author: Lenk J, Raiskup F, Pillunat LE, Rößler S.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2020 Dec; 117(12):1225-1228. PubMed ID: 32125497.
    Abstract:
    This article presents the case of a 44-year-old contact lens wearer who presented with acute keratitis resistant to antibacterial treatment in the right eye. The anterior segment of the eye showed circular conjunctival hyperemia, a corneal white cell infiltrate with radiating margins and a central corneal erosion. Microbiological investigation of a corneal scraping revealed growth of Scedosporium apiospermum. Intensive antimycotic treatment and several corneal collagen crosslinking procedures were performed; however, because of rapidly evolving necrotizing ulcerative keratitis, a keratoplasty à chaud was carried out.
