Abstract
A 47-year-old uncontrolled diabetic presented with proptosis, pain, immobility of the globe, and a perforated corneal ulcer. The clinical impression of mucormycosis was erroneous. Hemophilus aegyptius was grown from the orbit, the vitreous and oropharynx. This is believed to be the first report of panophthalmitis due to this organism.
