Abstract
Fungal keratitis due to Fusarium species is a rare but serious ocular disease. Due to its rapid progression, often late diagnostic confirmation as well as limited topical treatment options, this is potentially sight threatening. Increasing contact lens use and global climate change have been suggested to be factors leading to an increase in cases of fusarium keratitis, even in regions with moderate climate. Early recognition and initiation of antimycotic treatment, as well as early surgical treatment by penetrating keratoplasty are decisive for the outcome.
