Abstract
This paper deals with an example of progressive corneal ulcer that was caused by Fusarium oxysporum. This is the second, confirmed, published instance of keratomycosis associated with this organism, which was previously regarded as nonpathogenic. The mycotic infection of the cornea developed as a complication in a traumatic ulcer that was treated with corticosteroids and antibiotics.Keywords
