摘要：
Fungal keratitis, or keratomycosis, is an infection of the cornea caused by fungi. Although it is less frequently implicated in ocular infections than bacterial keratitis, its prognosis remains more guarded. However, the fungi involved include a variety of rare fungal species. Fungal keratitis caused by C. tropicalis has been reported only rarely in the literature. We report the first case of Candida tropicalis corneal abscess diagnosed in the Parasitology -Mycology Department of the Hassan II University Hospital in Fez: a 66 -year -old patient with corneal dystrophy was admitted to the Ophthalmology Department for management of a corneal abscess of the left eye. Fungal infection was confirmed by mycological study of the corneal scrapings. The patient was put on antifungal treatment with good clinical improvement.
