Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Purpureocillium lilacinum eye infections (previously called Paecilomyces lilacinus) make up a significant percentage of the recorded cases of infection by this fungus, and is considered as an emerging pathogen.
AIMS: To report a case of ocular mycosis in a patient aged 70, with a double corneal transplantation in the right eye, and exhibiting a poor response to antifungal and surgical treatment.
METHODS: Corneal ring and ocular tissues obtained by surgical procedures were cultured in common mycological media. Molecular identification of the isolated fungus was obtained.
RESULTS: Colonies of a filamentous fungus were obtained, and according to the macroscopic and microscopic morphology it was identified as P. lilacinum. The identification was confirmed by molecular methods in a reference laboratory.
CONCLUSIONS: Eye infections due to P. lilacinum are rare but serious diseases that requires rapid diagnostic and therapeutic measures to enable visual function to recover.
