Abstract
Five cases of mycotic keratitis due to fungi not previously shown to cause this condition (Cylindrocarpon tonkinensis, Botryodiplodia theobromae and Phialophora gougerotii) are reported. The diagnosis was based on the demonstration of fungal elements from the eye lesion and culture of the organism. Data concerning trauma, occupation and type of lesion are discussed in the text.
