Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of Phoma glomerata keratitis occurring in recurrent herpes simplex keratitis cicatrix.
Case summary: A 63-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of abrupt visual deterioration and ocular
pain in his left eye. He was treated for recurrent herpes simplex keratitis in the same eye 12 years prior. Because central desmatocele
was observed as a result of advanced corneal stromal melting, Gram staining, Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) mount, and
culture were performed in corneal scrape specimens. On microbiological evaluation, a Phoma species was detected and Phoma
glomerata was diagnosed using DNA sequencing method. Two consecutive amniotic membrane transplantations were performed
with topical antifungal agents. The lesion was not improved when using topical amphotericin B and natamycin eyedrops,
thus fluconazole eyedrops were used additionally. The corneal infection was resolved with central thick opacification.
Conclusions: In the present case, herpetic keratitis was the main underlying causative factor because the patient had no past
history of trauma. When diverse appearances of keratitis occur in herpes simplex keratitis patients, clinicians need to consider
the concurrence of fungal infection, especially Phoma glomerata, a rare fungal organism.
