Rare case of fungal keratitis caused by Corynespora cassiicola

We describe a 76-year-old male farmer with no diabetes mellitus and no history of ocular trauma from soil or plants who developed a corneal infection from a plant pathogen. The organism was identified as Corynespora cassiicola based on both the morphological characteristics and the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal RNA gene. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of topical and systemic voriconazole. This is the first reported case of keratomycosis caused by C. cassiicola.
