title: Pseudallescheria boydii keratitis.
abstract: We describe a patient with Pseudallescheria boydii keratitis. The treatment of mycotic keratitis remains difficult. This case demonstrates that identification and susceptibility testing should be rapidly performed. In cases of indolent keratitis, the possibility of fungal infection should be kept in mind.
