Abstract
Purpose : To report The prognosis of Exserohilum Rostratum Keratitis In an Immunodeficiency Patient.
Method: Patients History, Clinical Characteristics, Risk factors, Laboratory findings, Treatments and outcomes being kept for review in a retrospective study of keratomycosis caused by E. rostratum in an HIV patient.
Results: An unknown species of insect causes a trauma in the right eye of a 48 year old patient with HIV infection who shows symptoms of blurred vision and redness in the respective eye. Right Cornea shows white infiltrate in the Biomicroscopic examination. Epithelial surface and anterior stroma shows deposition of brownish pigmented deposits, A feathery edge and satellite lesion. E. rostratum got identified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR),Large dematiaceous septate hyphae is shown by Corneal scraping Specimen. Primary Treatment include 5% netamycin eye drops and oral Itraconazole. Corneal Lesion shows good prognosis by the medication provided.
Conclusions: An Immunocompromised Patient with ocular trauma shows Corneal phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exserohilum. Corneal scrapings and Polymerase Chain Reaction diagnosed Exserohilum which causes Brown pigmented lesion in a white infilterate.
