| Abstract: | Curvularia brachyspora has been identified for the first time as a cause of mycotic keratitis. Mycotic infections of the eye have assumed increasing importance in ophthalmology, resulting in a need for fungal identification and early specific treatment for the successful management of cases. A case of mycotic keratitis caused by C. brachyspora is described against the background of other Curvularia species causing mycoses. |
