NON-ULCERATIVE FUNGAL KERATITIS DIAGNOSED BY POSTERIOR LAMELLAR BIOPSY

We report a case of Fusarium solani keratitis which highlights the dif ficulties often associated with management of fungal corneal infection s. This case demonstrates several unusual and interesting features: th e occurrence of deep fungal pathology after superficial injury, the di fficulties encountered in attempting to isolate and identify the causa tive organism, and the protracted course taken by an organism often no ted to be rapidly destructive. These features necessitated an individu al approach to therapy, employing unconventional medical and surgical techniques to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
