  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 60-year-old female presented with blurring in her left eye since 2 days before. She had been using weekly disposable soft contact lens since one month before. Her left eye showed ciliary injection,infiltration with stromal melting in the central cornea,and fibrinous exudate in the aqueous. Spore-like fungi were found in the scraping from the corneal ulcer. Culture showed no fungal or bacterial organism. She was diagnosed with keratomycosis. We treated her by curettage and systemic micafungin. The corneal lesion immediately started to improve and healed after scarring. Corrected visual acuity in the affected eye was hand motion when first seen by us and improved to 1.0 15 weeks later. This case illustrates that systemic micafungin may be effective for keratomycosis.
