The case of a previously healthy 48-year-old patient (not a contact lens wearer) with a Fusarium keratitis is reported. He had developed a deep corneal ulcer with total stromal infiltration (Fusarium ssp.). An intensive topical and systemic antiinfectious medication was initiated, along with some procedures (keratoplasty, rinsing of the anterior chamber). However, the infection progressed (endophthalmitis), and an enucleation was necessary. Despite modern drug therapy and surgical intervention, fungal keratitis can cause an enucleation.
