Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of fungal corneal ulcer 3 months after corneal injury by a chestnut bur. Case:A 72-year-old male was injured by a chestnut bur in his left cornea. Subjective findings improved after removal of the bur. He noticed impaired vision in the left eye 3 months later. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.0 right and 0.6 left. The left eye showed corneal edema and opacity, inflammatory findings in the aqueous, and rubeosis iridis. PCR of the aqueous showed Aspergillus species. Systemic treatment with amphotericin B was followed by rapid improvement. There has been no recurrence for 10 months until present. Conclusion:This case illustrates that fungal keratopathy may develop months after corneal injury. PCR of the aqueous was useful in the diagnosis.
