Abstract
- Although the incidence of the Penicillium keratitis increases, there is no available reports from the literature. Dense, gray-whitish infiltration combined with ulceration was observed at the central cornea of 62-y-o-man. Hypopyon was observed also. Colonies on Sabouraud's agar showed light violet pigmentation. On the light microscopic examination of the recipicent cornea after penetrating keratoplasty, proliferation of the fungal hyphae in the deep corneal stroma was observed, but collagen fibers of the superficial stroma were re-formed over the necrotic stromal tissue. Electron microscopy showed a hiypha with triple cell wall.
