Abstract

The Drechslera state of Cochiobolus spicifer, Nelson 1964, was isolated from a case of keratomycosis. The patient, a 19 year old man, showed a large corneal ulcer with hypopyon associated with the introduction of dust. The direct examination of several scrapings revealed dark-brown hyphae.

This species has been reported as a causal agent of a nodular granulomatous mass in the foot of a cat and in the skin of a horse.
