Phlyctenulosis is an uncommon condition that usually affects children's cornea or conjunctiva. Although its exact aetiology is unknown, it is thought to be a non-specific delayed hypersensitivity reaction to staphylococci or other bacterial, fungal or parasitic antigens. Herein a case of a 3.5-year-old boy with corneal phlyctenulosis is described in whom the phlycten appears to have has migrated from its origin at the limbus to the central cornea (fascicular keratitis) and become visually disabling. At his last follow up he was asymptomatic. Some stromal scarring of the right cornea remained and his visual acuity improved in both eyes following treatment.
