Keratomycosis caused by Dichotomophthoropsis nymphaearum.

A case of Dichotomophthoropsis nymphaearum, a dematiaceous hyphomycete, is described from Bangladesh. This species has not previously been reported as a human pathogen. Hyphae were observed in Gram stained corneal scrapings and the species was grown from cultured corneal material. Treatment with topical econazole and subconjunctival injections of miconazole was successful in the short term but long-term outcome could not be determined. The results of sensitivity tests for six antifungal drugs are reported for the isolate.
