Fusarium moniliforme keratitis.
We report a case of keratomycosis from which fusarium moniliforme was isolated. After initial therapy without improvement, antifungal testing showed susceptibility to cyclopiroxolamine. After changing to this treatment the infection improved and an eventual healing took place with moderate corneal scarring.
