Mycotic keratitis in a reticulated python.
An adult male python was observed to have an inflamed right eye. After several weeks of antibiotic and corticosteroid therapy, a granulomatous mass was noticed on the cornea. The condition became progressively worse and the eye was enucleated. The histologic diagnosis was granulomatous mycotic keratitis with panophthalmitis.
