Case History: A 53 year old farmer, presented with complaints
of pain, redness and irritation of the left eye following ocular injury
caused by hay 5 days earlier.  Slit-lamp examination of the affected
eye revealed a corneal ulcer with irregular margins.  Scrapings were
taken from the base and edges of the corneal ulcer by a sterile blade.  
Microscopic examination of these scrapings revealed the presence of
septate fungal hyphae and the culture below was grown.
