    Author: Ramatchandirane B, Chandrika YM, Najeeb S.
    Journal: Cornea; 2024 Jan 01; 43(1):125-128. PubMed ID: 37699559.
    Abstract:
    We report a unique case of fungal keratitis, caused by the Cladosporium species, which is found to be resistant to multiple drugs, including voriconazole. Cladosporium belongs to the dematiaceous group of fungus, which is present ubiquitous in air, water, food etc. There are only few case reports available about Cladosporium keratitis which shows the successful management with voriconaozle. But in our case, the Cladosporium species was found to be resistant to multiple drugs, including voriconazole, and was successfully managed by topical povidone iodine (PVI) 5%.
